Apologies if you already know this and/or did this, but since you (Pau) asked: Deep memtest = burn-in test. memtest86 has an option for this. Launch it, and leave it running for 24hrs. If memtest86 hasn't found any errors after that many passes, then you can be virtually certain that it's not the RAM that is faulty. (I've never encountered faulty RAM that a 24h burn-in memtest86 check didn't detect as such, but I have more than once seen memtest86 fail to detect faulty RAM during a single-pass test.) regards, --ropers
