I posted the Blue screen of death and I did a memory test which said I have
hardware problems and at the end of the memory test it says I have memory
problems so I should just buy new RAM for my computer?

Hi Richar
Are you overclocking your ram, and has this problem only just starte
recently? have you installed any new memory or hardware or is this th
same computer you have had for sometime?

How often are you getting bsod's
If you are confident with the internals of the pc, I would try t
remove once stick of ram at a time and systematically test each one wit
memtest

Well, I would. The option would be to just continue and see how bad it
gets.

You might try simply pulling the memory out and reseating it - then run
the tests again.

also try swapping ram over to make sure its not the memory port that has
the problem.
