THILE is on a distinguished road

blue screen - PFN_list_corrupt

hi,
Some months ago I got some hardware for my server.
Asus M2n-e
AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2500 MHz (12.5 x 200) 4800+
some OCZ 2x2 GB ram modules (OCZ XTC SLI OCZ2N800SR2G)
LC Power Metatron ARKANGEL LC8850 V2.2

I did not do my homework properly this time, and discovered a lot of posts about this motherboard. It can only provide 1.95 V on the ram. This ram must have 2.0+
Well I tried it anyway, and made it run all it could. 1.95V.
I did a memtest for a long time, and no errors. So I installed windows, and used it as a file server with no problems for about a month.

Today the machine bugs me. It reboots at random. After some time it just reboots. Mostly If it does some heavy work. (Like unzipping a lot of stuff – moving files)

The blue Screen I receive on reboot says PFN_LIST_CORRUPT.
The common problem to this is memory problem. But how can there suddenly be a problem?
Anyway I fired up memtest again, and right, damn a lot of errors 40505+++.

What do you think? Is my memory damaged, or is it just because it does not get all the voltage needed?
I have ordered some cheap Kingston value ram now. This only needs 1.8v. I hope this will do the trick.
You have any other suggestions for me, to try?

I read that PFN_LIST_CORRUPT, also could be cpu overheating. In bios I read my athlon 4800+ to be around 50C.
I'm really confused, becourse mostly it can run for days, without any problems, and other times it almost makes an instant reboot after startup.

i can only give you a guess, i say could be RAM or motherboard or PSU fault or you can save me the guessing around by testing your RAM on a different computer that can be using its rated voltage first.
