I have run memtest on them overnight (8 hours) with no errors reported,
so I don't think that is the reason.

"What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have
faith, but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?
Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and
daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish
you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing
about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same
way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by
actions, is dead." James 2:14-17
