Note that software test programs like memtest86 will only catch
gross memory errors. To catch the really nasty, intermittent ones, you
need a specialized hardware RAM tester, which is probably not an option
here.
Also, I've looked over your postings for the past month, and I
can't tell if you've tried the obvious: do you have a known good power
supply? Some motherboards need really clean power, and AMD chips are
power hogs. Borderline power supplies can easily cause the symptoms
you're seeing.
