If you really are only getting errors at a single location that might
be an option.  But that isn't actually very likely.

If the memory is new, it ought to be replaced by the vendor under guarantee.
First it is probably worth trying with relaxed memory timings, and a
single (or maybe a single pair) or memory modules.
If you still get errors something is wrong.
