Aggressive timing will result in lower latency witch are not supported by your ram , There is two way to fix this .
1) Adding volts to your ram . For DDR up to 2.8 v safe , For DDR2 up to 2.1-2.0v is safe.
2) Better cooling or just set your ram manually to 3-4-4-7 or 5-5-5-11 .... depend on the memory and try to optimize for the lowest latency (use memory test to check the memory stability 10 lopps in generally enough).

Also,.. this may sound like a stupid solution... but make sure your memory is always seated perfectly in the slots.  I can't even remember how many times I've had memory problems fixed by pushing the sticks in securely or switching them around DIMMS.

This is also right (if the memory do not work @ stock setting) , i had similar issue especially when the computer need to be cleaned  Grin .

i am sure that my memory is fixed properly in the slots.It was the first thing i checked.I think it will be fixed by adding more volts as xtreview said.
