Try setting your memory voltage and timings manually in the bios. Judging by what cpu-z shows, it looks like your timings are 5-5-5-10. This could be incorrect, but by setting the timings manually you know it's right. should be 5-5-5-15 and 2.1v for 1066Mhz.

Your memory would be running 1:1 at 667Mhz. You are currently running the cpu at 9x333Mhz (which is as High as I would go with a stock HSF) and have the memory set to 5:8 ( (333/5)x8 =533 x2 (for ddr2) = 1066Mhz ). You should be able to adjust the timings by changing the dram timing control setting in your bios from auto to manual. I'm not exactly sure where the dram voltage setting is, but it should be in there somewhere.

Test your system with the memory timings and voltage set to 5-5-5-15 and 2.1v manually and post back with the results. If that doesn't fix the stability issue then we can look at some of the other bios voltages and settings.
