I did actually run a memtest for almost a whole day, passing 8 times
with no errors, but it wasn't on a live cd, it was from the grub boot
menu - would that make any difference? I can't test the broken ram
because the motherboard won't even boot - luckily Aria have already
authorised the RMA-ing of the ram though.
I'll give it another go later. I currently don't have the internet in my
room, so I'm moving the whole pc to another room so I can update. I came
to the conclusion that possibly I have particularly buggy/unstable
updates, so maybe updating it might help. It did seem to run alright
before my last update :/

Thanks
