Not sure how you can tell. I believe there are programs that can actually Test the Memory - to make sure you don't have some kind of failures. Alternately - and not sure if this is the best suggestion - but, since you have 16GB - maybe you can Take out 8GB - and see if you still have the problem. Then, if you do have the same problem - then swap the 8GB and try again. Maybe someone else here can give more input on Memory issues.

As good a guess as any. Activity monitor says 16 gb. Used 15.81. How can I tell?
