It really doesn't matter what the error codes mean. Some of your memory is bad and you can't fix memory without replacing the bad stick. If you are wondering which stick it is then remove one stick and test the remain one. If that stick comes up clean then it is the stick you removed. If the stick left in has errors then remove that stick and put the other back in. If that stick has errors then try them in each RAM slot and test again. if they both come up with errors then replace both if only then replace just that one.
Taking one memory module out and putting it back to the same place solves the problem: the memory test passes. But, from my experience, the problem comes back some time later.
I have got this computer 1 month ago, and it is at least the 5th time these memory problems happen.
I just have tested with only one memory module: each memory in each memory slot. For the 4 combinations, the tests passed successfully (but for sure they will fail again in some hours or days).
I have called Dell support, and they will change the mother board and the 2 memory modules tomorrow.
