Strange memory behaviour on reboot

Hi,

  I have observed some strange behaviour after reboot
of a E4500 mahcine. It showed memeory bank failure.
After second reboot tehf ailure disappeared and there
were no failures anymore. I am giving below output of
prtdiag for both outputs. What could be reason for
such a behaviour? Component aging?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hrishi
