I think my RAM doesn't work... or my motherboard?

Hi, I have a Gigabyte GA-7DXR+, and from like a month back or so, I've been having a Warcraft crash that reads:
FATAL ERROR!

Program: d:\program files\warcraft iii\war3.exe
Exception: 0xC0000005 (ACCESS_VIOLATION) at 001B:6F294641

The instruction at '0x6F294641' referenced memory at '0xC7CD7688'.
The memory could not be 'read'.

Some friends have told me that my RAM is the one that's all screwed up, I plan to buy more RAM, but then a doubt started in my head "what if the RAM is OK, but the one's that are all broken are my RAM slots on the motherboard? I have 640 MB DDR of Kingston memory, could someone tell me how I can find out what's wrong please? either motherboard or RAM, thank you very much.

Nope, I also tried to run some benchmarks on my pc with Sandra software and it crashed, but Warcraft/Frozen Throne is the only really heavy graphic game I play.
:(

Which benchmarks failed to work? You could download Fresh Diagnose from: http:/www.freshdevices.com, and see if any of those benchmarks fail, then let us know. :)
