FWIW.  I've had flakey memory that ran memcheck fine for several hours
and multiple passes -- but if I let it run long enough, it would fail.
I wouldn't be confident unless memtest ran for at least 12 hours (24
would be even better).

I'd also keep an eye on CPU core temperature. 

A failing hard-drive can also cause some pretty strange behavior.  If
you're drives are smart (AFAICT, all recent ones are), ask them how
they're feeling with 'smartclt' or something like that.
