i suspect i've got bad RAM but memtest has run through several dozen
iterations without a problem. my (3 year old) laptop will run for a few
days or weeks and then crash/freeze/hang. i've enabled crash dumps and i'm
wondering if/how the dump might be able to (dis)prove that the RAM is bad.
any ideas?
thanks...
