Cold boot memory errors

Tags:

Hello,

This just started to make me go crazy :) 

The system just hangs on memtest (or windows is starting...) if left off over night. But after few restarts it works fine! Think it's the memory but didn't have time to try it out only with one pair at a time. Any help...

Tests:
  • Memtest after PC was left off over night = FAIL, millions of errors (BSOD at windows is starting...)
  • Memtest after reseating ram modules = PASS, no errors
  • Memtest after few restarts = PASS, no errors
  • Memtest after 12h of use / restart = PASS, no errors
  • Prime95 stable over night...

    Memtest, tryed every module in every slot with 0 errors afte PC was warmed up.

    System:
  • Q6600 (stock, 6 yrs old)
  • ASUS P5QL-E (4 yrs old)
  • 2 x 2GB Kingston DDR2 800 (1,5 yrs old) + 2 x 1GB TeamGroup DDR2 800 (5 yrs old) both pairs the same specs (5-5-5-18, 1.8V)
  • nVidia GTX 560Ti
  • PSU 850W (replaced, didn't fix the problem)
  • OS not important (happens in windows 7, 8 and Ubuntu)
  • !
