Problem with RAM!!!

Can you test your memory in your friends system?

I could yes, but i already RMA it back to overclockers. Since one dimm is not working, there is no reason for me to further search the whole thing

Wise move.

memtest DIDN'T confirm. But as i said before, when i use it alone, PC and programs crash

So it passed memtest then with the module you suspect is faulty?

yes. And IT IS faulty. Any other dimm i'vre tried works like a charm. System crashes everytime with that specific module

Strange, well now that you know which one is faulty you can RMA it.

I'e RMAed whole package including airflow fans and both modules.

PS airflowfans needed if there is no overclocking on RAM? Do you suggest overclocking the RAM?

Unless you are doing extreme overclocking the RAM doesn't really need it's own cooling, but I guess a lot of this depends on how good your airflow through the case is. But to answer your question, no it's not needed at all if you are not overclocking!
