If memtest86 shows any errors at all --- even if you have to run
several test cycles to get the errors to show up --- then you need to
replace the memory (or there is a faint possibility that you may need a
new CPU). It's worth swapping out the sticks one at a time to see if
the fault is localised to one of them. Speak to your supplier: most
components like memory or CPU have a 3 year warranty.
Cheers,
