Most live CD's these days will come with memtest86 as a boot option,
that would give your RAM a good workout and tell you how it looks.
It could be that the RAM itself is perfectly fine, but just not
working too well with your motherboard hardware, I have seen this many
times before where in one system the RAM is completely unusable, but
in a different system is perfectly fine.
