  If Mr. Phil Brutsche is right, I expect Memtest86 won't find
anything.  You have ECC memory, and I don't think Memtest86 is
ECC-aware.  ECC can detect-and-correct single-bit errors.  It can
detect (but not correct) two-bit errors.  Beyond that, it won't even
detect.  Think like RAID-1 mirroring.  Running CHKDSK on a RAID set
with one failed disk won't find anything wrong.  But when the other
disk eventually fails, you'll be having a bad day.

  That said, I'm not sure it is an ECC error.  You show ErrorType
27851784, and according to the link you found, documented values go up
to 256 and no higher.  Weird.

  I'd check with the manufacturer of the server (or motherboard, if it's a BYO).
