I'd say it was RAM...
Try re-running the test with only one RAM stick at a time - I have just done that for this laptop I've just repaired, and sure enough, one stick was bad - replaced it with another and the machine is fine once again.
Nice little tool is memtest.....

Yes, it will stop assuming that the defective memory is causing your problem, and that the new memory you get is error-free.
If you were using linux, memtest86 can output a file containing the bad memory locations, and linux would just choose to never read or write data from those pieces of memory.
