OK, I got Windows 7 up and running again!. I tell you though, I had a scare when the Kaspersky trial I am using crashed just like it was back when my system was first acting up. But it was something about needing to update blah blah. So I think all is good.
I still need to determine if the problem was a faulty RAM module or RAM slot. I have been too busy getting my system up and running to worry about that at the moment. It's running fine with the one 8GB module in slot 1.
Sucks that I will have to return both modules to get the replacements.
Thank you for your help. I will post with any other updates.
