Evga Classified 200, does running 8gb rams result in my rams not being able to run at its stated speed? Im using Geil 2133mhz Cl9, but i cant even run at 2000mhz cl9, auto blue screen and cant boot into OS normally, at CL8 1600 im still fine.

try to get the error message that you get during bsod.

STOP: 0x00000101 - raise vcore
STOP: 0x00000124 - raise vcore or vtt

not sure how different an i7 860 is, but you can refer to this guide by shansmi:

I reckon you should run stock CPU and check on your rams. If it's not running @ rated stats. I reckon you should RMA it.
