You are welcome. According to your MB manuel, they recommend the ram in the blue dimm slots. Also check the default dram voltage in bios. My AMD board sets default at 1.6. If you use the CPUz program, post a screenshot of the memory tab and the spd tab.
Here's something very interesting about AMD AM3 CPU's and RAM speeds:
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING AMD AM3 CPU's and RAM SPEEDS
Here are some screen shots of my system.
here's a recent report from CPU-Z
It looks like you are overclocking your CPU. The stock speed is 3200 and you are running at 3700. Set it back to stock and it may just run right.

I am not sure why this is maybe its the bad stick messing it up, "afterthought" It maybe that using MemOK save the settings automatically its something else you could check.
Ok I am interested to know if the saved BIOS works with good RAM.
Good that it is working, I hope your new RAM lives up to your expectations as well.
This should not have any bearing on your problem :)
According to your last CPU-Z picture, you are running in unganged mode it would be better to check your handbook and insert the RAM in the recommended slots so that you run in ganged mode. You may possibly have a BIOS setting where you can change this setting, I am not certain but it was definitely on the older AM boards

The BIOS picks its information from that stored on the chip, and displays the rated value. CPUID, on the other hand, reads the same data but displays the current dynamic frequency of the CPU.
As regards ganged/unganged mode, he is better off using unganged mode as he will get better performance that way. This is due to the Phenom processors having 2 memory controllers, 1 for each channel. If you check my specs, you will see that, although my motherboard supports ganged/unganged memory operation, I am running in ganged mode because my CPU only has a single memory controller.
