I'll try that if I can find someone, thanks Soul. Is there any other way to check CPU stability besides running a stress test?

...and liquid, already did, the result was the system was more stable with two pieces of ram...

Update: I don't think it's my CPU...I ran Prime95 for a few hours, and passed quite a few tests without a crash...I upped the voltage of my ram from 1.65 to 1.75, and it's remained pretty solid...hopefully it won't crash again.

That is a lot of voltage to be throwing through your RAM, at least for me.

Perhaps since its G.Skill get a hold of their technical support and ask for some configuration advice.
There is never any shame in asking for their help, they were very very good to me when I was setting up my RipJaws on the i7 System, and they gave me a lot of different configurations for running their RAM at all different speed levels.

Alright, I'll go ask their support, thanks for the advice! Hopefully they'll be able to solve my problems. And is it really that much voltage?

In all honesty I wouldn't put that much voltage through a system on an AM3 CPU, unless I was benching it. Long term is probably not ideal.

Oh no, I'm not putting the voltage on my CPU, I'm putting the voltage on my DRAM.

Yes, but the IMC is on your CPU and thus is effected by it.

Ohh gotcha. Sorry, I only know computers to an extent, my knowledge is pretty limited when it comes to troubleshooting.

Okay so the problem has progressed! Sometimes, I start up my computer and it will just idle I guess? Well it won't start up but everything will be on...so I have my LCD screen poster that comes with the crosshair III and it gets stuck at DET DRAM...so could this mean that the ram is just incompatible with the board, or the board's slots can't determine the ram because they are faulty?
