well this sucks, slot #2 froze with a new stick in it.. #1,3,4 perform flawlessly. Now I'll just return these 2GB and put one of the original version 6.x sticks from corsairs in it's place I guess.
Get the motherboard specs and be certain about slot assignments for the memory.
Ithought about where I saw badram it's in grub2
/etc/default/grub

I've had that on a Dell Server, and at the time, I had the equipment to investigate it. I could compare pin for pin with an Analogue Signature Analyser. Good pins looked like this:

| and Bad ones were just one long '/'. The corners represent the diodes. A single pin was bad, so an address or data, or possibly control line was bad all the way back to the Southbridge. The thing had lost a stick of ram, and it had blown the Southbridge, or ram contro0ller or something.
Don't think so. It freezes the box, so it's a hardware error. There is much poorly understood hardware in the average pc and I wouldn't claim to be an expert, but I understand the basics. A blown output transistor or fet is effectively a short circuit to ground. That on a memory controller will kill the lot
