It doesn't mean there's anything really wrong with the MB or the RAM. They just don't play well together. *shrug* hardware is just finicky these days.

My guess is that the RAM might have been at fault here, or just a dud board. The Gigabite boards (at least for the PC's I used to build) gave rather conservative Specifications but used to perform well above that and were rock stable. MSI boards used to be quite flaky, spatially with some of their Drivers for M$. Having said that, my wife's PC does use a MSI board that has been performing well with MDV so far.
