Back on 4/20 I tested the top 6.5 Gbs of the 8 Gbs on the system using /bin/memtester

Not knowing if my system would even come up if I tried to reboot, I decided to wait
until I had to reboot. I saw post stating that be easiest way to fix a failed upgrade
is to re-install - I'd like to avoid that right now.
The current system (12 years old) is backed up and
I plan to build a new desktop server in a couple of weeks so I would wait to reboot and
test all the RAM.
Power supplies (including motherboard components that manage low-voltage supplies
to CPU and other chips) degrade with age. Random crashes can result.
Hope the Trump tariffs don't make it hard to source parts for a new build.
Well, earlier today the system froze, so during reboot I ran memtest86 on all the memory.
It all passed. So, it might be something else that caused the upgrade to fail.
No zram errors since reboot.
