WoW Crashing

I just bought a pair of Corsair XMS 3200C2PT 2x1GB Kit. After installing the memory I noticed in the bios that the latency for the ram was running at 3-3-4-8 2T. From what I hear this pair should be running at 2-2-3-6 1T with no problem.

So I configured it to 2-2-3-6 1T. Running windows works fine. But when I play WoW, 5min into play it would crash (not the system just WoW). I attempt to play again and get the same results. I restart and change the settings back to to 3-3-4-8 2T and it plays just fine (ran through AQ20 w/o any crashing). I am guessing that I'm doing something wrong, voltage maybe? If so how do I set voltage?

How can I run at 2-2-3-6 1T at a stable condition? Is it fine if I just run at 2-2-3-6 2T? Any big difference if I don't runt at 1T?

I have not run a memtest yet. I will get a disk made and run it when I get home from work. Is memtest86 fine or should I run memtest86+. (My PC specs are in sig) TIA.
 
I ran memtest over night without errors (8+hrs). I ended up running at 2.5-2-3-6 1T. It was the most stable setting I could get it to run at.

Does going from 2.5 to 2 make that big of a difference? I mean it should be able to run at the stated speed. Other than that I am happy with the current clock speed.
 
what voltage are you giving the ram? and what voltage does the ram want? could be that it needs 2.6 (example) and you are only giving it 2.5 (example)
