Is there a program to scan for faulty RAM?
my new comp more than rarely crashes with a BSOD (bad pool call, pfn page error etc). i have researched these errors and the common link is that it is falty memory or hardware- i think its my RAM. is there a program that can check if ur RAM is faulty?.

I have always used memtest86. It's a pretty small downlaod.

well it's two years i'm trying to find something that is accurate, but even though i knew the ram was faulty DocMemory or memtest could not detect ANY problems on a hot test. they detect problems only if your DDR ram is totally messed up. in that case you don't need to test it anyways.
is there anything else out there that might work? (i currently use MEMORY DUMP blue screen in win XP to detect bad ram )
