Try turning off AMD optimisation, it's a flag you can pass to the kernel with GRUB/Lilo/Whatever bootloader. It's cropped up on here but for some reason I can't reach the slug website right now. Basically on recent AMD Motherboards linux drives the RAM too fast - well it's the mobo's fault for slightly overclocking in the first place which doesen't cause a problem under Windows.
