So I've got a stick of Patriot laptop memory that I think is bad (possibly right from the start; I had plenty of problems getting my laptop to boot up when I first installed the sticks).

Before I turn to a blind Google search, can anyone recommend their favorite method/software for (thoroughly?) testing RAM?

I know Windows 7 has the built-in memory diagnostic tool, but I didn't know how trustworthy/reliable it is...

I have a stick that I believe to be bad to, but with it installed the computer will not boot.
Suggestions? Trash it?
