Good job on the specs, this will help all that view this thread.
Good information that slot 2 is working.
It's possible that the voltage bump will help slot 1.
Let us know how the testing is going.
When I upped the voltage above 1.6V, the bluescreens return on the 'good' DIMM slot. Memtest often hangs, and is never able to get to 7 complete passes.
Minidumps of those crashes attached.
This is probably motherboard failure - the computer company would probably be barraged with phone calls if all of their systems were sold undervoltage.
Put the DRAM voltage back to 1.56v.
Let's bump the Chipset Over Voltage +0.1v from the current setting.
Test again.
Edit:
How far above 1.6v did you go?

When I got to about 1.65V, the BIOS would tell me at startup that overvoltage failed.
Whatever the case, the manufacturer is sending me a new mobo. That should resolve things, despite any voltage settings.
The memory controller voltage bump should help with stability.
At this stage it looks like there are still four possibilities, incompatible RAM, memory controller or motherboard slot problem, graphics card, and last but still a possibility a PSU problem.
These are things to remember if the new MOBO still gives errors.
With your CPU NB VID Control bumped 0.1v, try the DRAM voltage at 1.7v.
If the new MOBO still gives errors replace the RAM with one from the MOBO compatible RAM list.
Hopefully the new MOBO will solve the problem, let us know the outcome.
Luke, you have done a very good job of following suggestions. I hope the new mobo is the answer to your problems. :)
