    Hi, i've recently finished a computer build and have been having problems that i'm told are being caused by faulty ram.

    Apart from the blue shut down screen to protect my computer being caused by some graphic intense applications caught in a continuous loopback it's also happened when running some anti-virus programs.

    These can sometimes freeze, then when i look in task manager under processes the memory usage for the frozen program starts to rise and reaches over 450,000K and doesn't stop until i end the process.

    These are just some things that have happened and not that often and windows has been running ok most of the time but it wasn't until a failed windows repair that i was told by two highly experienced computer engineers that this was due to faulty ram?

    Is there a way or any good programs to test my ram modules so i can be certain, any advice would be much appreciated.
