There are two things to check firstly on this system.

What is the make and model of that PSU? If it is a low end one, it might not actually be giving enough power for the system.

Is it 1 or 2 sticks of RAM?

Is XMP enabled in the BIOS? If not, enable it to get the RAM running at full speed. It will be under overclocking, check the motherboard manual for help.

What games are you playing, and at what resolution and graphics preset?
