Update:
memtest86+ 8 passes completed without any errors
Observations:
Is it possible that the first error was a fluke? Could the ram have been installed poorly (not seated properly) or might dust/debris contribute to the error? So far I have had good stability since running all of these tests and pulling the ram dozens of times but it is still too soon to say (2 days of up time so far). I have attached some information gathered from cpu-z. I was wondering if voltage or timing might be an issue; the bios is currently set to auto detect all settings. It all looks correct to me, however, but I am no expert.
My ram specs: G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B - Newegg.com
***NOTE*** both cpu-z and memtest86+ report the ram model number wrong; I have confirmed the above link is correct by checking the sticker on the sticks.
