I think you'll have no luck, Majoram, until you see as I did. You may also want to try just two GB of ram...whether it's one stick or two doesn't matter, IMHO.
What did you do in the end? RMA the board?

Yeah I thought so too and I remove 2GB and did a memtest again and got a bunch of errors.
So I removed that 2GB and did another memtest and got errors in the first test!

Unplug all cables from the back of the computer(anything that can supply power to the MB), and pull the CMOS battery for like 10 minutes and reset the BIOS with the jumpers if there are any. If not use the back panel reset. Then boot into BIOS and LOAD Factory Defaults.
Well I did do a complete reset before I tried memtest the second time around.
But I didn't remove the battery or anything, I just used the button at the back.

Does anyone know which memtest program is better to use???

I'm gonna try the other memtest now (Memtest 86 v3.3) and later I have some OCZ RAM that I will try testing with.

Thanks for the help so far! Any other suggestions appreciated!!
