Memtest indicates there is an error.  Looks like a hot bit (always on) to me.

I assembled this computer about 10 years ago.  It has been running 24/7 for
that long as a print and file server, also running boinc doing compute tasks
for seti, milkyway at home, and COVID19 research.  I am not surprised it is having
a problem,  I am trying to get this computer working for a few months while I
build another one.
