Should be able to boot into memtest from Ubuntu livecd, to avoid any
complications from anything else causing a crash.

Problem with memtest is firming up if it is the memory.

Last time I did this, just removing 1 of 2 memory sticks stopped any
errors, so I just replaced that stick.

The bad news is when you remove, or replace the memory and still get
errors running memtest, since memory is cheap and easy to replace unlike
motherboards.
