OK, time for the bad news. I put the 680i back in and started running the "bad" modules through Memtest one at a time, and they are testing OK. SO... looks like the board is bad and has to be RMA'd

I was suspicious also because everytime I hit F10 to save settings in the BIOS, it would just shut down and not start back up again. I would have to turn the Power Supply off and get all the power in the board to drain before I could turn
back on. Even Asus thinks its probably a bad board.
