Samsung as well if you want to go by Seagate brands. However, it works for virtually ALL drives regardless of manufacturer and the generic tests don't discriminate between brands. Its the repair/remap part of the test that is brand specific.
As for the OPs problems, memory management is usually just that, memory related. Memtest it and enable any XMP profiles etc.. sometimes not doing that can get the wrong paramaters set especially where vtt and vdimm are concerned, could be a timing issue as well.
I suggested a bootdisk with all the diagnostic tools. I actually use spinrite myself specifically for HDDs, I had already said the HDD tools are pretty much universal. The bootdisk had memtest and im sure prime95 is included aswell to test stability......handy lil disk to own.
Setting the XMP profile is a good idea too, yes you will find it in the BIOS and it automatically sets the speed and timing of the RAM. That could well cure the issue.
Edit: Great, and upon trying to download VirtuMVP I'm being told that an integrated graphics device was not found.
Drivers again i'm afraid. Get the latest lucid drivers from here. Then install the software again, hopefully that will cure the problem.
