On my trusty -current/amd64 laptop, I built memtestplus-5.01nb1, copied /usr/pkg/mdec/memtestplus to /, and added menu=Boot memtest:boot memtestplus to /boot.cfg. memtestplus starts on boot, I am given the option for safe mode, but come what may, as soon as testing starts, the laptop reboots. Does memtestplus work for you?
I've had similar failures for a couple of years now. memtestplus simply won't work on my machine. I'm running a desktop (not a laptop) with an ASUS X99-E motherboard, Core i7-6900K processor, and 128GB DDR4 RAM.
