I used a program called memtest86 to identify some bad ram a few months
ago.  I can't recall where I downloaded it, but if you can't find it via
one of the search engines, let me know and I'd be glad to forward the
the version I used.

This thing is not Linux based.  It runs before boot, so it should work
with any OS...
