Check your bios/system event log for any indication that it is logging memory errors? Most modern server class motherboards (past 5 years) do this, though not always reliably.
Nothing in the logs, it's a Supermicro X7DVL-E (fyi).
I've also had trouble with memtest86 myself, I prefer to run ctcs:
README.FIRST scares me. Server is 70 miles away, not feeling really good about this. I ran memtest86+ last night for 6+ hours and it came back clean.
The software is really old and is picky what you build it on, if I recall right I could only get it to build on RHEL/CentOS 4 not 5 (though the binaries work fine on 5).
I just booted the binary from the memtest site under Grub, it worked fine.
