Ballistix!
Goes wrong all the time, have a bit of a reputation as far as I know, if its still under warranty try and get some new sticks, if your not running overclocked?
Really does sound like ram the more you say, the errors and brand are there to cause you trouble.

Nope not overclocked, I suppose if this is the problem its good news aswell, how much RAM is recommended these days, 1GB still? I use the PC for high end games and basic internet browsing. And is there any nice reliable ones 
Edit: i couldnt seem to get that Memtest to work, and also couldnt find a floppy disk around here, all CDs now hehe. If they are known for causing trouble I think its better to just replace them with a different brand maybe.

2gb is the norm, and you probably wont need to leave it running for hours before it shows errors either. 
Try that, and I have a sinking feeling it will show errors somehow.
2gb is the norm, I usually spend my money on Corsair memory as it just works, especially if you are not overclocking, should see a nice boost in games too.
Just check with memtest first. Although I think it will be erroring within 30 minutes.
/You can just replace, they are known to go wrong easily, get onto crucial and get some new sticks then sell them to make some money back, in some rigs Ballistix is great.
I know the Corsair XMS 3200cpt stuff pairs up nicely at stock with a FX55, as I have done so myself.

That is what I personally use in all the rigs I have made since the end of 2002, have used 256mb, 512mb and 1gb sticks of it, and in most builds I do for people and has been faultless, not the most amazing overclocking ram there is but it is usually rock stable even under silly temperatures.
Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS2 (MY-079-CS)
Im calling it a night, wont reply until around 3 tommorrow.
Drop me a email if you need anything responded to slightly faster.
