Check your RAM timings. Test RAM at default speeds before going up to 3600. Im betting it works fine at 2133 (or sometimes 2400 is the default)

    This. My PC needs slight voltage tweaks to be stable at full speed as well; just a +0.1V on the northbridge, and decreasing the RAM voltage from 1.33V default down to 1.2V. Been stable for years that way.

    If the ram fault is persistently just at some locations, you can set a kernel parameter not to use them. That's more for starting up to ensure your backups are up-to-date. If your ram is legitimately dying, then don't use that pc for anything you'd care about losing.
