I agree. If you have had memory issues from two different sources then it
must the memory controller on the motherboard. One thing you might
consider trying is to limit how much RAM linux can see:
linux MEM=128m
for example could be used on boot if you had a 512MB module. If it still
crashed after that, take it back and tell them it is faulty.
Hope That Helps,
