You can edit the grub config (assuming you're using Linux) and add reserved ranges for the affected physical address.
find the linux boot command and add a memmap=$ argument This tells the kernel to avoid the bad parts.
In your case it looks like a relatively small chunk of bad memory so.. memmap=64K$0x130FE0000
I've used this trick to stabilise systems with faulty RAM and it works.
