They are different blocks of memory on each pass.... I would retest with only a single stick at a time, if you are using multiple sticks....That way you can isolate which ones are bad. Once you find the bad stick, you can even go as far as to swap the stisk and retest, to make sure the slots are ok....
From your picture, that means GOOD (fffdffff) but it return in the value (ffffffff) which is BAD / not return the exact value for that ...... The RAM is faulty ...... Since you already running for 9 + hours, and already get the error message, you can just stop it. Conclusion from your picture is that RAM is not functionning correctly ....... Get another 1 ....... Hope this help .........
adding to the above : in the word of 8 bytes "fffdffff" was written, and read back as "ffffffff" which shows BIT missing from the 4'th byte
in short - it is bad and must be replaced.
check with the vendor - many carry a lifetime warranty

keep in mind that you can never "finish" a memtest - you could let it do 250+ passes if you want to!
