I have one memory stick which will run forever with one memory test program but fails about once per hour on a free Micro$oft memory tester. All pattern tests work OK, the only failures are of one bit during random data tests. I had used this stick for some time before realizing there was a hardware problem. If you can't find a suitable program, the M$ one is "Windows Memory Diagnostic" It runs from a stand-alone boot floppy. I could provide a disk image if we both have the same imaging program?
