Hi,
First of all, I want to apologize for the lengthy summary...About two months ago I purchased a Crucial 1gb 200-Pin DDR333 stick of ram for my Fujitsu T4010D tablet. The computer ran fine at the beginning, but a month into it, my computer started crashing (blue screens) about one a week...now, it has gotten to the point that it will crash multiple times everyday, which makes the computer almost unusable. I did put in the stick I purchased along with the ram that the computer came with (512mb stick). At first I thought it was the OS that was messed up, but I decided to try to run Memtest just to make sure. While running Memtest, all sorts of errors were reported, and eventually Memtest would cause the computer to crash. So, I decided to take out the 512mb stick of ram and run Memtest86 from a liveCD of Ubuntu...the test immediately showed thousands of errors...I tried swapping the location of the ram stick, but unfortunately to no avail...I also ran Memtest86 on solely the 512mb stick of ram that the computer came with and Memtest86 found no errors after running overnight.
At this point, I'm set on returning the ram to Crucial and hoping they send me a replacement that works...but is there anything else I should try before sending the ram back?
If using the single 1GB stick by itself and you have already tried it in the two available slots individually, then it's clearly faulty. RMA it.

Is the new stick compatible?
Go to crucial and access their configurator.
It should show the ram on the list of compatible part numbers.
Corsair, Kingston, patriot, ocz and others have configurators also.
