Hi,
Reseating the RAM can help, it is known as "Chip Creep".
Chip creep refers to the problem of chips that, over time, would work their way out of the socket. Chip creep occurred due to thermal expansion; the contracting and expanding during system heat up and cool down.
While chip creep is usually most common with older memory modules it was a problem with other main chips that were inserted into sockets.
To fix chip creep, users of older systems would often have to remove the case cover and push the loose chip back into the socket.
I would advise to run memtest again with them in reversed slots (just what you wanted to hear eh!)
Is the computer running better now you have reseated the RAM? Anymore crashes?
Cheers
Dave
