SODIMM DDR3 Synchronous 1600 MHz (0.6 ns) - vendor: 8502 - *BAD*gran_size,

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Vasudevan, definitely something funny with your RAM (or POSSIBLY a bug 
with memtest). Do you notice anything funny while running the system? In 
general after getting errors like that I would reseat my memory sticks 
and see if they go away :-) Running memtest of course is also a good idea.
