That's one trap some people fall into - When you buy RAM advertized with lower latency or high speeds, you have to always look at the specified voltage it was tested at - When installing RAM on your system, it will default to the JEDEC timings - so to run it at advertized specs you will have to manually raise your voltage, (2.1V for example) or as stated on the packaging.
Windows errors, data corruption, that is a classic case of memory problems - Some motherboards are very picky about RAM - try to swap your RAM with something else, and use the same type, same timings for a pair, if it does that no matter what RAM you put in, then it looks like your motherbaord is failing - have you done any visual inspection on your board to look for anything unusual oh wait I mean anything usual :D like burnt resistors, bulging, leaking caps ? ;-)
