Daily BSOD win7 64bit, memtest error

    Hey guys
    A few weeks ago my comp started to crash. It would happen while playing games (bc2, LoL), browsing the web, checking outlook, defragging, and while im afk. The BSOD I noticed would be that the screen distorts then goes to blue screen in a split second. I updated my video card (ati 5770) to the latest drivers and it still crashes. I've ran disk check with no errors. Memtest gave me 1 error on the 1st pass for only 1 stick of ram, and when I ran the windows memory diagnostics it said there was a hardware problem but froze mid test. I'm starting to think its the ram that is bad, but before I replace it I would like to know if it could possibly be anything else (mobo, hd, gpu, etc).

    Any error with memtest means corrupted memory and it must be replaced. If you bought your memory as a pair, even though one stick may be good, for RMA purposes you will have to return the memory as a pair.
