please help to solve

hardware:

This sounds like a memory error, run a memcheck or call HP to get a technician to look at it.

Iinternal "Software test" memory is successfully, but internal "MEMBist" found failure 2nd bank memory.

How can i correctly check the memory?

I did run all 5 virtual machines on VM server and ESXi fall into purple screen again.

after restart ESXi i again run all 5 machines (4 windows+ 1 ubuntu), login at each and launch applications for more memory consumption. Total memory consumption of ESXi reached about ~9 Gb (from 10Gb) but ESXi still works 😕

Run memtest86 on the host.  It's a free download and you can run it off of CD or a USB flash drive.  If there is a hardware issue with memory, it does a good job of finding the problem.
