Referenced Memory Could Not Be Read Error!

i've run the memtest3.1a CD boot disk twice. both times it appeared to stop responding after 41 seconds (the time stopped counting, at least, and i let it sit for a couple minutes). the first time: 41 seconds, 48% pass 2 sencond time: 41 seconds, 50% pass 2 so... does that mean bad ram?

Referenced Memory Could Not Be Read Error!

im pretty sure, though, that it's not always the same program. could it be a hardware thing? it's the whole error checking on the RAM that im wondering about.... bad ram corrupts data and b/c it's ECC wont send it to the application.... is that a possibility?
