In the last week or so, my pc has started to either crash out of games or reboot without warning or error messages. This seems only sporadic and I can be using it for a couple of hours without problem. I ran virus and spyware etc checks and all clean.
I ran memtest about 2 weeks ago and it ran for over an hour with no problems but last night, I ran it and it produced an error straight away complaining that it failed to move something and gave a couple of memory addresses.
The ram is Geil PC6400 2x1Gb.
I only bought it in August/Sept from OCuk so still within warranty (hopefully!) so before I start the RMA process is there something else I can do to double check the state of the RAM?
If it needs to be returned, do I goto OCuk or Geil? (Never returned anything before – been lucky I guess!) Anyone know what the turnaround is like for returns?
Cheers
