By "memtest" I assume mean memtest86?
In my experience, you should let it run multiple passes (I'd recommend
at least 4 or 4 -- I would imagine it'll take a couple days). I've
seen situations where it was OK on the initial pass, and then failed
later.
The other likely suspect is probably the power supply.
