This type of problem should always be diagnosed properly - don't 'think' about replacing something unless you have done a proper diagnosis of the problem otherwise you are just wasting your money ( :-) maybe you could 'donate' it to me instead). It is VERY common for memory problems (especially the kind of memory problem which drops a single bit out of the entire stick) to show up as some other type of hardware problem (or even software problems) and will quite often be proceeded by intermittant BSOD's, or even constant driver problems.
