Ive been getting BSOD since my recent upgrade details in this thread:

Basically now i think ive narrowed it down to one stick of bad DDR3 GEIL ultra,the mother board wont run memtest with both sticks installed it just reboots, with each stick in seperate it runs fine and says they both pass the test

so theres obviously a problem some where because it wont test with both sticks installed , the initial problem was gaming id get BSOD after a while, so tonight i did abit of gaming with one stick in and ran fine for over an hour without issues, i turned the pc off and swapped sticks and then played the same game within 15 mintes it crashed with BSOD

so its gotta be this one stick right ?

I obviously need to RMA it back to ocuk but if it passes memtest they just going to say its fine and send it back to me with a charge for extra postage ? are there any other tests i can run to tell for sure whether this stick is duff ?
 
Scratch that, its just crashed with the "good" stick in so bang goes that theory, surely both sticks wouldnt be duff ? one i can believe but two ? hhhmm im not sure :(
