some big problems

not something i really know anything about malc. I have my desktop up and running with the 2gb of error free memory, i have got pc probe up which came with my asus motherboard and all voltages appear fine

vcore - 1.33, 3.3v is 3.36v, 5v is 5.02v, 12v is 12.34v
 
Now you've found the cause you should do some stability testing using prime95, etc to make sure there is nothing else that is frying the memory.

Then double check that the fault comes back by running with the faulty memory module and then RMA it.
 
what testing should i do with it? sorry im a newbie to this stuff.

i have downloaded it and am running it now with all default options. Not sure if i should have selected anything in particular??
 
ok so i have had the seemingly good RAM module under the prime95 blend stress test since this morning. Seems to be passing everything ok. Do i do other tests with this RAM or do i now try the dodgy RAM module?
 
put the other stick in on its own, windows didnt even start before a bsod stating fatal system error or something. Put the seemingly good one back in and its working fine again. Think we could have the answer, just a little spooked that it passed the tests originally, though saying that, i did get the odd memory management bsod once maybe twice before i done the original test. Has this been known to happen, that the memtest can miss errors?
