I have 6gb 3 channel g. skill ram. I think it is bad. I know ram is one of the most common components to fail. It failed in my old PC, and my brother's PC. For like the first week I had my PC, my PC crashed once while playing Max Payne 3. After that it got worse. A few day ago it was crashing every three or so hours in Max Payne 3. When I was on the last chapter of the game it was crashing about every thirty minutes. I was thinking maybe Max Payne 3 was just not a very stable game. But now I start up Half life 2 and it crashes within 15 minutes (this includes the main menu, I sat in the main menu for a while). But then it worked on half life 2 for about an hour and a half with no problems(I had to get off) after it crashed the first time. Sometimes I get blue screens sometimes I don't. But should I test more games before asking for to get it replaced or should I just return it now?
