Question about RAM voltages and speed.

So, just ten minutes ago when I was testing the stability of my overclock with Prime95, my computer crashed and I got blue screened. I know that this definitely has something to do with my RAM, but I can't seem to pinpoint it. Thus far, my overclock settings are as follows: i7-930 core clock 150 with multiplier of 22=3.3GHz at 1.3V, RAM speed at 1805MHz at 1.3V. The memory I have is http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145236, and I've read that many people have been able to get it to the speed I set it at. Apart from that, I can't see why the system would crash because I really haven't pushed anything too far. On paper, this really seems like it should work, but every time I run Prim95 something crashes or an error message comes up. Any type of help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Is the memory voltage you posted a typo?

1.3V? Nope, that's what it was set at, although 1.3 really isn't very high.

On the contrary; I think your memory voltage is too low. The memory set you linked is rated for 1600MHz at 1.65V, and you've set it to run at an overclocked frequency of 1805MHz while only running 1.3V through it. I'd try setting your memory to it's default frequency and voltage and proceeding from there.

Ah... that would make sense. If I recall correctly though, I read in more than one place that 1.65V for memory should be the absolute max to set it at. Both ways, I'm going to go try it out. Thanks.
