    If you run the memtest on the UBCD, it will start throwing errors if there's a RAM issue. Bear in mind, there is a possibility that it very well may not be the RAM, it could be the board itself. I've seen it in the past--someone tried to shove DDR2 RAM in a DDR slot and said slots throw errors left and right. Thankfully for this person, the other two slots on the board work.

    ++ for Memtest86. If none of the sticks throw errors when tested individually, make sure you have the timing set to the slowest of the group when they are all in at the same time.
