    How can you tell if your RAM slots are bad?


    I've come to a conclusion that I think my RAM slots are bad,as my computer keeps crashing and i've run out of other ideas..

    On the DVD or in the downloaded ISO, in the Boot folder you will find a memory test program... Let it run overnight and see if there are any errors....
