Alright I have a majorly odd problem on my hands. I thought I had fixed this problem in my other thread. I have run the laptop for approximately a day and it crashed. I ran Memtest and it came up with errors within the first pass. I removed the bottom of the laptop and re-seated the RAM (I removed it from the slot and then I replaced it.) I then put the base plate of the laptop back on and ran Memtest again and it has not detected any errors. This is extremely odd. What would you all suggest about fixing this? It seems as if there is a problem with the slot on the motherboard, or the RAM may become un-seated in use (This seems very odd because the ram is seated into the slot firmly and will not budge.) Another thing I was thinking was that the bios may be causing problems somewhere but I am not sure if it would affect the RAM in Memtest. This is very frustrating seeing as I can get absolutely no work done for school and I cannot diagnose the problem.

Just talked to A-Data. Got an RMA request going. Hopefully this fixes it, but they said they would probably repair the RAM stick instead of sending a new one.
