SODIMM DDR3 Synchronous 1600 MHz (0.6 ns) - vendor: 8502 - *BAD*gran_size,

Seeing this on both quantal and raring beta2 on a brand new laptop from
system76 (gazelle pro) after my previous desktop died mysteriously.
While booting it reports these messages

Do these indicate a h/w defect? Before installing raring beta2, memtest
reported lot of errors and I killed it after the count went past a million
After installing raring iso, memtest ran over night with out errors (shows
'pass'). Does installing new version of iso upgrade the memtest version
also?
