    Well booted this morning with the bad stick in the slot the good stick usually goes in. Bluescreen and 100k errors in memtest.

    I'll go get in touch with Ebuyer now . Hopefully I can keep the good stick so I can keep using the computer...

    Usually you have to send back both of them, sadly. Fingers crossed though.

    Yeah you'll have to send back both sticks if they came as a matched pair.
