Raven,
I don't know if it's related your your problem or not but the USB ports in the back caused me major issues with freezing. I had an APC battery backed plugged into it. I know the Asrock manual mentions this specifically and I contacted their support and they gave me a solution but it never worked for me.
Your symptoms were not like mine with beep errors or vid card issues so I really don't know if it's related to your problem.
Personally, perhaps an RMA is best way way to go. They don't make this board anymore so you may get something comparable from them. I don't know what they are sending out now as replcement RMAs for the Asrock Dual SATAII boards.
I'll try unplugging all USB at the back and get back. What was the solution they gave to you?
But I still think it's dimm B:

Dimm B didn't even make 5 minutes on its own. Massive errors and then it locked. I'll got try running it again without USB on the back.
Did it say anything about using the onboard (ie. header) USB? Cuz my DVD is in an eternal caddy hooked up by USB. It also does firewire, but that'll be a pain for me.
