Ever since my UK trip, gaming on my computer has been a frustrating crash-fest, as the system likes to blow up whenever things get busy. Error codes when only the game crashes, and tests with MemTest86+ point towards a failing memory chip. Almost two years ago, I bought
these when building this computer for $125. Supposedly they have a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer. But a replacement of the one failed chip would only cost $17 today. And RMA procedures are both slow and a pain in the ass.
For only 17 bucks it's probably better and easier to just throw the failing chip into the trash. Such is quality these days.
