We try run memtest 800M with Linux kernel 4.8, which killed by OOM.
But if we run:
# memtester -p 0x9F000000 16K 1
memtester version 4.3.0 (32-bit)

Loop 1/1:
   Stuck Address       : ok
   Random Value        : ok
   Compare XOR         : ok
   Compare SUB         : ok
   Compare MUL         : ok
   Compare DIV         : ok

   Sequential Increment: ok
   Solid Bits          : ok
   Block Sequential    : ok
   Checkerboard        : ok
   Bit Spread          : ok

   Walking Ones        : ok
   Walking Zeroes      : ok
   8-bit Writes        : ok
   16-bit Writes       : ok

So these memory should be fine to CPU core. Maybe your system just
freeze because out of memory.
