I've replaced the memory because it looked like a mem fault
If you believe that to be the case, run memtest86 (installable from extras). It'll pick up memory and related problems (e.g. motherboard might have other issues).
I've run memtest a number of times now. I've got 2 slots and 5 memory sticks. I've tried all sorts of variants with different sticks in different slots, having a stick in just slot 1, having a stick in just slot 2, having both slots full etc.
Every time I run memtest86+ I get errors on test 5. The location and number of the errors change as I change configs, but I never get a clean test. I also never get errors on any othe other tests, just test 5.
What's the chance that the problem's something other than memory.
Memory problems can be memory dimm, memory controller, or power.
Since you have repeatedly tried different dimms, with changing location results on test 5, I would assume this is likely a power supply problem. The other choice is the motherboard.
Try one at a time and you will eventually find the culprit.
Any ideas what I can try next?
