It could be that the area of RAM that was bad was not always used.

My point or question here is that when you suspect the cause of a problem
and remove that device, the problem often disappears, for awhile. Why? It
would seem that if my RAM had been the problem all along, it would have not
went away for awhile when I unplugged my USB Palm Pilot. Now I wonder if the
same thing is happening, the problem disappearing for from 12 to 24 hours
right after I changed out my RAM and it may come back in a day or two.
I am use to hardware related problems being consistent. My experience tells
me that if a USB device or a card is causing Windows to lock up, the
presence of that device will cause the lockup within an hour, not
infrequently. Now I am wondering if that bad stick of RAM (if it is the RAM
and I sure hope it is!) caused my Palm Pilot desktop software to stall out.
The only hardware I was blaming for that was the Palm Pilot. Now for over 8
hours and two log offs and log ons with the Palm Pilot connected, all is
going well. I am holding my breath.
It makes me wonder why bad RAM caused problems in only two areas, my Palm
Pilot desktop software and Windows locking up. Perhaps the Palm Pilot used
the area of the RAM that was bad and nothing else used that area.
