it may be dirty fingers on the ram, which can be cleaned with a clean
pencil eraser (not a pen eraser, they're too abrasive). it could also
be a cracked solder joint or broken bond wire, both of which can respond
to heat and be random enough to confuse the issue. it could also be
that the pc is running at a slower memory bus speed and is less
sensitive if the ram is just poorly made. i'd suspect heat except that
you said it did the same thing in another machine. the pc may also keep
the ram cooler, but if it's not just dirty contacts i'd expect it to
eventually flake out in the pc as well.
