Simple: replace the RAM, file for an RMA, etc.. If there's no warranty or the warranty has expired and you need brand recommendations for a new purchase: Crucial is excellent, avoid Corsair at all costs. There is no software-based RAM tester available for PC architecture that can stress-test RAM 100% reliably. Proper memory analysers are almost always hardware and do a multitude of tests (hard and soft failures, ECC analysis, voltage regulator stress tests, and thermal stress tests). An old job of mine required me to use one of these on a daily basis, testing for bad RAM from Sun IPC/IPX and UltraSparc boxes. -- | Jeremy Chadwick j...@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
