So I've had problems with my computer and crashes lately so i ran a memtest (2 sticks) and had resulted to having something like 66 errors by the 2nd pass so i ran each individual stick, 8 passes each, and both have turned out clean, so i havent been able to isolate the problem, how do i go about solving this, should i run more passes?

I was just about to do that, i wanted to check that my BIOS were updated first, just reading up on how to do it now

so i took out the sticks and switched them around to the white sockets (theyre normally in the blue) http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3520#bios and am running a memtest again and currently running with no errors, but if the sticks do pass it just makes me wonder more what is causing the crashes and problems etc.

well i ran the test again in the inital ports and ran into the errors again, is it possible that the ports are bad? and if so is that whats causing the crash (crash involves suddenly turning off, making four long beeps, and restarting to the blue screen(not entirely sure of the quantity of beeps))

this is my current mobo: http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3520#
I assume if i have bad ports ill need to replace it, in which case id love suggestions
