I have run one full test and got no errors on the memory module. Is it worth keeping it running overnight, just to see if temperature changes will afect the test?
I had a system that started crashing randomly. I ran memtest overnight (about 10 hrs) but it did not report any errors. Next time I extended the run to 18 hrs or so and finally saw errors. Replacing the RAM solved the crash problem. So, I would recommend running memtest for one full day.

I agree. Usually, when systems crash due to possibly memory related errors I let them run testing for 24 hours, or if they have lots of memory possibly longer (48 hours) to allow all memory to be fully tested. :-)
