ABIT AT8 32X and CORSAIR TWINX2048-3200C2PT rebooting?

All,
I recently replaced my blown ASUS motherboard with the new abit AT8 32X Crossfire motherboard. Ever since then I've been having system stablity issues. I'd like to preface this by saying I never had stability issues with these same modules on my ASUS board.
I've made certain I'm running the latest revision of the BIOS and the latest system drivers on a fresh Windows XP Pro install. The machine will sit in the BIOS hardware monitoring screen without rebooting for over 24 hours. At no point does the system appear to be getting anywhere close to overheating.
As soon as I load up Windows I get the random reboots. I ran MemBench and got a bad memory block after testing for 8 solid hours. My question is this. Is it a board problem, a RAM problem, or a combination of the two?
