I know Vista 64 had an issue when you installed it into a PC with 4GB, and had to take 2GB out to install it, then add an MS patch, before placing the 2Gb back in.
Have you tried running the system with just 2GB installed (the original) and also making sure that it is all correctly seated. I have done this before as-well, making the assumption that the memory was correctly seated, when in fact it was just slightly raised and causing erratic errors.
I also had random errors, and trust me, I feel your pain, when I had a Soundblaster card installed, but when I had moved a couple of cables, the Soundblaster had just lifted fractionally out of the PCI slot. I went through the same formatting re-install regime absolutely positive it was a hardware fault, but not being able to track it down.
All I can say is take everything out apart from the bare minimum ie Hard drive, 1 Graphics Card, no sound card (unless onboard) and 1 stick of memory.
Do a clean install and see what happens. Once stable, add one piece at a time....good luck!
