Change the default memory controller settings either by changing them in BIOS, resetting BIOS to failsafes or hard-resetting the BIOS. You may/should also boot up with 1 DIMM, flash to the latest BIOS as well to have it support the newer memory controller your chip is (suspected) to be packing

Also, run a few loops through memtest86, you can find it here

1. 64bit has nothing to do with it.
2. See manual about how to reset BIOS.

+1 on what Praetor said. I'd do one thing at a time till you get it straight.

If after all that you're still having problems, try running the system in it's basic state: PSU, Mobo, CPU, ram, video, keyboard
