Two sticks is to see if it's RAM causing the stopping or thermal. 4 sticks causes extra stress on the IMC and Prime95 default stress stresses a lot of RAM too. Leave two sticks out until everything is fine. Process of elimination.
Do you have the cooler fan and pump plugged into the motherboard or straight 12v? It's a good possibility the pump isn't on 100%. This could lead to the water getting overheated and not cooling the chip properly. There is no way that chip should be running that hot with that cooling setup.
