Re: Detecting exact bad ram chip.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'll be happy to move it elsewhere if needed. A few weeks back, I purchased 16GB of RAM for my desktop system. Everything worked well for quite some time until this past weekend. I started having a ton of BSODs and random apps crashing. I ran Memtest86+, and the RAM came back with a ton of errors. I didn't check it when I first bought it, so it may have been problematic to start with. But my question is, does RAM degrade over time? I've heard about buying bad RAM, but never RAM that works, but eventually...
