This is a good point, I have seen a variety of memory errors go away by
reseating the memory or cleaning the contacts, blowing out the dust, etc.

Coincidentally, my 5000/260 has recently started this as well, but it
happens so infrequently and doesn't bring down the system so I have not
worried about it.
