UPDATE - PROBLEM SOLVED
This is for anyone who was following this thread. I have solved the memory problem. The solution involved the use a different memory. I bought DDR2-800 memory from Corsair and everything is just fine. I was actually able to run Memtest with no errors with the BIOS...

I was sucessful at passing tests with 2x2GB ram in any possible slot combination on the M3A78-EM.
I was sucessful at passing tests with 4X512MB ram in all 4 slots.
However, I have been unable to run 4X4GB modules without errors...
