One or several of your memory sticks are faulty.
Turn off your PC, remove all ram sticks, plug one stick in the slot further away from the CPU socket, then run memtest again.
If you keep getting errors, it's either that stick that's faulty, or the memory slot. So turn off your PC, remove stick , insert it into another slot. Repeat memtest.
If the stick reports errors in all memory slots, then it's definitely the ram stick that's faulty.
Now, move on to next memory stick and repeat the whole process with all four memory sticks.
You won't need to wait each time for a complete pass. A faulty ram stick will start to throw errors within 5-10 minutes, as at most you'll be spending around 30 minutes on each ram stick.
Also, keep in mind your sticks are configured at 2666Mhz , timings 16-18-18-35 ... check and make sure the voltage is also configured correctly. If the memory sticks require 1.35v to operate but you're running them at 1.2v, they may give errors.
