Usually to confirm that your memory modules are working fine its
advisable to wait for the better half of a day. I had similar problems
a few years back, and I finally Identified the bad module after 2-3
days of testing. But of course in that case I had to test four 1gig
modules. That can be a lot of permutations, 4 modules 4 banks so 4 x 4
= 16 possible combos to test.

You are going to need lots of patience and good luck :)
