I retested the modules with memtest86+ 2.01. memtest86 3.4a gave me an
error "unexpected interrupt". one of modules gave me about 2000 errors
(at a small range but consistent through the tests) and the other one
was ok. So it is a memory problem. they are on the way back to gskill.

by the way, why cann't fedora see the 3gb of memory and shows only about 2,25gb?
