I would start by verifying the memory is the correct type, size, density, and speed for your system. Also ensure you're not exceeding the total memory your system supports. Check your system documentation (look for it on manufacturer's website) or the "Crucial Memory Advisor™ tool" on the
Crucial website.
I would then reseat and test the memory. Install one memory module only and test it. Then replace it with the other memory module and test it. Then test both together. If you get errors, you might try the module in the other memory socket (in the unlikely event the socket has a problem). You need to observe Electro Static Discharge (ESD) precautions when handling electronic components (like memory modules).
MemTest86 is a standalone program on a bootable floppy or CD that will rigorously test your memory. It will run until you manually stop it (or the program crashes - not normal behavior). Let it run for several complete passes. You shouldn't have errors.
