Memory access failures

Explanation: A failure was detected within the system memory. This usually means a failure of the simple memory tests performed at boot time, which generally consist of writing a pattern to memory and reading it back to ensure that it has not changed. Depending on the system, you may be told some specifics about what part of memory failed.

Diagnosis: There are many possible root causes for this problem, usually associated with the system memory. There could be a motherboard problem as well.
