Default Problem with some dodgy RAM.

We had a PC replaced in the office last week after it kept crashing - it was suspected that the problem was that the HDD about to die.

However, we then canibalised the RAM out of it and put it into another computer (almost identical spec as they were bought together) but now it keeps crashing too.

are there any utilities that can check the RAM without resorting to manually removing a DIMM at a time to see if it still crashes?

i think there are mem check utilities , but it's not like there are many to try lol

set the bios to do a full memory check, with all dimms in.

see what it says
