Faulty RAM?

See thread,

Taken 1 stick out and vista hasn't crashed since Tuesday. Ive not had faulty components before, so unsure what to do. I brought the ram off a auction site, at the mo iam using 1 stick which isnt not ideal.

Should I put the possibly faulty stick into my pc and see if it crashes, then iam sure thats the problem, or do I need to run a program like memtest?

Can I RMA it?

Thanks all

I'd run memtest on it. That should pick up if its bad or not. Not sure about the RMA as you bought if from an auction site.

memtest is definitely the way forward.
