MSI 870-G45 - Hypertransport Sync Flood Error

Question

Oh, dont you just love this error?
Long story short;
New computer, Alls well, start gaming, crashes, "HTSF error".
System Idles and can take less graphically advance games just fine, but lasts 3 seconds in more graphically demanding games. Not the video card. I've Tested it in multiple computers already.
Things I've tried;
lowering the HT-Link frequency to 1800 (x8) and keeping NB-CPU at 2000
Disabled C'n'Q and other power saving utilities
Increased memory voltage
A few people mentioned to disable HPET under power management, but i cant seem to find it =\
Tried updating the BIOS but SureHands Live Update didn't find anything, and I dont know where to DL the archive directly.
I was also told to increase CPU voltage as well, but thought I'd check here first and see what people in the know, know.
Heres the numbers:
CPU-Voltage -- 1.390
CPU_NB-Voltage -- 1.265
DRAM-voltage -- 1.750 (Up from 1.50)
NB-Voltage -- 1.103
SB-Voltage -- 1.196
HT_Link-Voltage -- 1.240
HT-Link frequency -- 1800
NB-CPU frequency -- 2000
Memory Timing 9-9-9-24
And last but not least, My system:
System:
MSI 870-G45 MoBo
AMD Phenom x4 840 3.2Ghz
G.Skill memory DDR3 SDRAM 1333 4Gb x2
500Watt corsair PSU (Was using a 400 watt case PSU before just fine)
Nvidia 9500 GT 1Gb
EDIT:
Could it be the memory? Just noticed that the sticks only supports AMD 790 Chipset while the Mobo is AMD 770 Chipset.

Try different brand memory and you know soon enough.
HT errors are hard to find and can be anything from: Memory, CPU, motherboard, videocard to bad powersupply.
Typical they are cause by Memory, videocard or powersupply.
As you are using Gskill, that would be my first to replace with El-Cheapo stick and see what happens.
Even when memtest doesn't error.
I have no spare DDR3 sticks onhand and the stores around here carry the expensive kind only =\
note on the video card though, Noticed mine was missing 2 brass connector pins on the card itself. Looks like they broke off in the old mainboard i had. Pulled my brothers video card and im going to test that in a second.
Also, when I ended the stress test, boy was my system toasty.
