It only detects really major problems, like "there's a smoking crater where my memory used to be". That the BIOS memory check passes doesn't tell you anything worth knowing. Use a more sensitive tester like memtest86, or if you can possibly get access to one, a hardware memory tester. Only the hardware tester will be able to give your memory sticks a 100% known good bill of health, but something like memtest86 will catch most problems, and it doesn't tell you there are errors when there aren't.
