What exactly do you mean by crash?
complete system lockup? oops on screen?
Does it happen with X turned off?

You are mis-reading memtest, it means 30% of all the tests, but each
test does go through all the ram at least once, so your ram is probably
ok as far as memtest is concerned. Note that this may not be enough to
trigger your kind of problems - which may have something to do with
system load or disk, etc.
