I apologize if i miss any important data for solving this issue but im the new kid in the neighbor.

Im having issues with an Asus m5a97 r2.0 motherboard using a 1x4gb kingston hyperX 1600mhz, when i have to force a restart using Reset button or turn it on the morning it wouldn't boot and i have to force the ram speed to Auto on the bios. Ive tried to set DOCP to 1600mhz but it wouldnt boot after saving and restarting so i have to force it again to automatic settings.
Also, monitoring the ram with asus ai suite, its getting 1.65v so i guess its ok while using an amd cpu, right?

If further hardware info is needed:
CPU: AMD FX-6300
Graphics: R7 260x 2gb sapphire
RAM: Kingston 1x4gb ddr3 1600mhz model(or something like that): KHX1600c9d3/4gx
Not intending to overclock cpu/graphics because i dont have a decent cooling system

After reading the link you provided there there are 2 possible settings, as i have understood or correct if wrong

option 1: timings 9-9-9-27 @1.65V
option 2: timings 11-11-11 @1.5V but the last timing is missing
and you provided timings 9-9-9-24 @1.65V, so this would be either option zero or option 3.

I will try your settings and report if anything goes wrong.
So id like to know if there is any improvement between the voltage settings, aside from the timings.
