(i will silently ignore the format you choose for your message.) this may be the wrong place to ask this question, and i don't know what exactly the tests do, but the errors you report sound a lot like broken hardware - especially RAM.
it would be very nice to know if your machine stops crashing when you remove the RAM, or if the problem persists. though i don't know much about your problem, i would return that DIMM to were you bought it and try another one.
