Hi Rave,

Try putting both sticks in your computer and then run memtest.
You can find it at http://www.memtest.org/

Then you can once and for all figure out if the stick is damaged or not.

Have you been to the web site Damorian gave you? http://www.memtest.org/

It's there. You download a zipped version of the bootable ISO. Unpack it. Burn the ISO to a CD. Then reboot with the CD in and boot to the CD drive. It doesn't matter what OS you have as it boots and runs off the CD before the OS is loaded.
