The first four (last four upside down) items that show up as AUTO in the list of your upside down image are what need to be changed. The first four (TCL, TRCD, TRP, TRAS) should be 9-9-9-25

These will show when you set the AI Overclocking Tuner to Manual.
They are at the standard stock settings.
Don't worry about them.
As writhziden mentioned, change the first four RAM timings.
Just select them and you can enter the numbers.
Change the first four and leave the rest on 'Auto'.
3 days ago, after reading writh's post I set those four settings to specified 9 9 9 25, crashed today while playing a game. DMP file attached. "Memory Management".

So I assume you guys have given up. For the record i found something very strange. I was looking through my order history on newegg and noticed that he ram i purchased was ddr3 1600 but you suggest i run my ram at 1333 which I assumed at the time was because you thought my ram was 1333. So that must mean that either you are wrong and my ram is really 1600 or newegg gave me the wrong ram. Assuming you were right and the build is still crashing (i have the timings still set to what you requested) or I should try the timings at 1600. The board specs on newegg says 1600 (o.c.)/1333 so I'm assuming either would work.
This is all interesting for me because i'm thinking of getting more ram and a new motherboard and I figured i would try to get ram of the same speed and timings as my current ram to save a little money and to possibly replicate these crashes with separate but identical hardware.
Sorry you fell through the cracks. Dave probably thought I would analyze it and I probably thought he would or maybe we both missed that you uploaded an attachment. Whatever the reason, my apologies.
You were asked to run at 1333 because 1600 RAM is not compatible with your processor. Your processor can only reliably support 1333 RAM. AMD Phenom :Running 1600 RAM at 1600 MHz may damage your processor, your RAM, the motherboard, and/or the power supply over time since it is essentially overclocking the processor to run at that speed.Integrated DRAM Controller with AMD Memory Optimizer Technology[*]A high-bandwidth, low-latency integrated memory controller

Benefit: Quick access to system memory for better performance.
System Building and Compatibility
The crash report you uploaded indicated memory_corruption, so it was probably still memory related.
Ah it was the processor limiting the speed. So.... based on the BSOD, could be the ram, could be the ram slots?
Have you changed your BIOS settings as requested by Dave and I? Timings, voltages, etc.?
Have you tried a different PSU?
Are you able to start with any configuration other than slots 2 and 4?
Dave is very good with these problems, and his suspects were the CPU and PSU. You have not yet stated whether you addressed those concerns.
I have changed the settings and it has crashed since (see previous posts). I am not able to start in any other ram configuration. I'll try a different PSU soon.
Try to borrow a PSU from a friend, or if you do buy one, make sure you but it from a store that will allow you to return it for a full refund if it does not solve the problem.
The fact that you cannot start in any other RAM configuration is worrisome. I would recommend contacting both the motherboard manufacturer and the processor manufacturer for troubleshooting steps.
Can you please confirm the settings you have changed?
It will help us to know exactly what has been done, so we will know what to try next.
I have just re-read the entire thread, there are several suggestions that have been asked and there is no clear answer what the procedure/results were.
Your biggest issue is the RAM channel A being dead, this can be a settings issue (not likely in this case), CPU or motherboard issue. Remotely possible damage caused by bad PSU.
As mentioned previously, your PSU is suspect, test with other known good PSU if possible.
Are these the settings you changed?
Can you confirm each step?
Have you checked the CMOS battery?
Download HWiNFO64
Click on the 'Sensors' button, scroll down and post the 'VBAT' voltage.
Should be above 3.0v.
Do you have any Asus utilities installed?
Un-install them for testing.
They are known to cause system instability.
In response to previous posts:
Re-placing hardware doesn't mean the new hardware is guaranteed to work correctly, it is rare to get two bad components in a row but, it has happened and will happen again.
With new hardware, if the issue isn't resolved, the same tests need to be repeated.
As mentioned previously, you may need to install older graphics drivers, some new drivers are just not stable, others will have issues with certain hardware, so you may need to test several.
Memtest86+ will run until you stop it, if it stops on it's own, that is a failed test.
You need to run a minimum of seven full passes, this will take up to 8 hours, best to run overnight.
In conclusion:
I will research for further information, please reply with full details of what you have and have not tried.
It is your computer and you are the one that ultimately decides what you will do, just keep us informed.
Let us know if you have any questions.
