Is it normal to get a couple of errors when running memtest-86? I have 2 sticks of corsair 512mb ram and one seems to have gone bad. I ran memtest-86 overnight on the "good" stick and I noticed 3 errors.

I've been getting blue screens lately, and I'm trying to figure out which stick is causing the problems.

What they said ^^.

Errors indicate that either something's not set up right, or you have some bad RAM. Are you OC'ing?

I ran memtest86 for 10 hours straight yesterday on my new Kingston 2x512mb HyperX PC3200 @ 2-2-2-11. No errors.
