Problems with system.....

Providing that this is the mobo you have:
ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard

Then the manual is here:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socketAM2/M2N32-SLI Deluxe/e2697_m2n32-sli_dlx.zip

Download that crap. Look at page 2-19 (look at bottom of pages). Global PDF page is 45/170.

Follow the instructions to clear your bios settings via the jumper labeled CLRTC...

The thing is, if the mobo is bootable, you can save yourself the time to open the case and look for jumpers and achieve the exact same effect by just going in your bios (by pressing DEL or F2 or whatever you need to when your computer boots - look for the prompts) and going to something called "Reset to Default" or "Default/Original Settings" or something like that... It's towards the bottom right corner on most bioses...

If your computer fails to install windows with bluescreens etc., download and burn this on another computer (with IMGBURN preferably - from www.imgburn.com):

Then boot your computer from the CD you burned (you have to edit the bios boot sequence to CD first, likely) and test your memory with Memtest86+. Let it run at least half an hour and make sure it shows no errors. Also it has useful tools to test CPU stability as well...

Anyway, hopefully any of that helps. Good luck with the replacement if it doesn't work out for you.
 
Have you tried upping the memory voltage? I had the same problem when I switched to DDR3. The memory specs called for 1.5volts, but I had the exact same problem with the addition of the game crashing until I bumped up the DIMMV to 1.63v. You might need a small bump in the memory voltage; some motherboards seem to require more voltage than is called for, but not much more. Anyway, it's worth a shot and is something that is quick and easy to do and undo if it does not help.
