The first thing I would do is reseat the memory and try again. Even a BIOS memory test might be sufficient to identify a real problem. I added memory to my machine a couple of years ago and encountered frequent memory problems. I had to reseat the memory several times to get it operating correctly. Even after I was sure it was well seated, I had problems. I have 3 dual-sided memory cards, and one side or more of them was not being recognized on start up. Eventually I figured out that the problem only occurred when the machine was cold. Since then I leave the machine on all the time and only put it in standby when I am away from it. If the power fails and I find it powered down I just expect to get the memory error and restart after it has warmed up. I never have memory errors like you described. If you have "real" memory problems, you can try something like DocMemory available here simmtester.com When I got it the installer created a PDF files with some useful hints about things to check like dust and oxidation. The executable will run extensive memory tests for you.
