tarilen, I think that's a general problem with the older 939 platform. My old board, the RDX200 CF-DR from DFI supposedly fixed this, with the ability to run 4 banks of memory in dual-channel, and with 1T.
Before that though, there was instability with systems running RAM in all 4 banks, unless they set memory to 2T.
Try that and see, might be your problem there.
