Cheap RAM is a false economy.
You know it's a common problem when both Linux and Windows has a memory test tool option from the boot menu
Personally, I always buy good branded ram and soak test it with memtestx86+ for several hours before I'll trust it to do real work.
I had an odd machine the other day though, where it passed memtest OK, but the PC was really unstable, turned out the customer had brought their ram off eBay from China as it was cheap.
I found that all 4 sticks have the same serial number and claim to be Kingston brand and have a part number of Kingston. Nice work cloning team !
