Bad powersupply causing memory to fail memtest?

Last friday two sticks of ram 'died' on me. They booted fine, but displayed wrong size and failed memtest horrible, 95% failure. I figured the ram just had its day, and get an RMA from crucial (which hasnt arived yet). Today, i turned the compy on again to see if the PSU is reporting correct voltages/etc, but it refused to start up. I went to the store and bought a new one. Now the sticks are working fine and have passed memtest so far (only been going for 15 minutes). How could a bad psu only effect ram, is it even possible?
 
I agree that it isn't likly. I'd run a memroy testing program on that ram. Seating of the ram could have some issue. perhaps you reseated the ram..if not, try it.
