I'm quite sure I have dimm slots gone bad on my motherboard.
Slots starting from near CPU are:
A1
B1
A2
B2
After running memtest for two days with both of my RAM modules, even with the old ones
it seems slots A1 and A2 are causing problems if I put a module in them.
I tried each of my two modules, even the old two modules in all four slots and everytime memtest shows up errors within a minute of the test with A1/A2 slots.
Slots B1/B2 passed 6 times with all my modules separately without errors.
Currently I have the new RAM inserted in B1/B2 and system seems stable, however the RAM isn't running dual-channel.
