Yesterday I installed 4GB more of RAM in this machine for a total of 8GB, and |
| 2 |
the machine soon began random segfaulting and even a kernel crash or two, so |
| 3 |
obviously I suspected the new RAM was faulty. |

I let memtest86+ run overnight and it found zero memory errors. Today I |
| 6 |
exchanged the new RAM anyway and got a different brand this time, and |
| 7 |
that fixed the problem. |

My question is why didn't memtest86+ find any errors? Could it be that the |
| 10 |
first RAM I bought was actually okay but this machine didn't like it for some |
| 11 |
reason? Both were DDR3/1333MHz, just from different manufacturers. |
