RAM memory is volatile so even a warm boot clears it out.  Windows trying to load 
into defective RAM, not that is a possibility, but you should have other issues or 
BSODs while it is running if that is the case.  The memory has to be a different 
type to retain a "state" for that to be happening, and that type  will not work in 
a PC.  There is something else going on.

Would have to physically bench the machine and test it myself to see what the trouble 
may be without more info sadly enough.  Any piece of hardware, or the motherboard 
itself could be the possible source.  The only thing a tech could do is test or swap 
parts to eliminate a hardware source as the possible cause.

You can test your memory with this:

Make sure to read all of the documentation before using it though..
