Hi Fabian,

I would try running the test for longer.  I once had a faulty memory DIMM that 
I was confident was faulty as system instabilities
followed the memory DIMM across multiple computers.  On one system it took over 
2 days for memtest86 to detect an error!  Just to
check, I swapped out the faulty DIMM for a good one and ran memtest86 for a 
week with no errors.  The DIMM was definitely faulty,
and it did make that system unstable, but it took much more than 23 hours for a 
failure to occur using memtest86.

BR,

Roger
