as JD said memtes86+
Download Iso for making a bootable disk, Boot to cd and run. Most run it for 8 hrs, or overnight.

If that pass, then boot to operating system and run Orthos prime or prime 95. My memory passed memtest86 (only ran for couple of hrs) but would fail orthos within 10 to 13 min.

Added - Just a double ck, You are runing the Ram @ manuf spec voltage and your 5 volt and 12 Volt rails are within spec. And your not running hot.
