What is the warranty on the memory?
Most resellers have a lifetime warranty on their memory as long as
you have the documentation(receipt)
I returned a 3 year old stick to memoryx a few months ago, no
problems at all.
You may want to run the hardware test CD also try a memory testing
software there a few out there.
