    I've had my Aspire One for less than one week. I have one of the CDW Black 160gb 6 cell's. I had been getting BSODs today so I had to figure out where these were coming from. I booted up memtest and sure enough it did not pass. I have not opened or really done anything to this netbook. If I don't have to send this back then I do not want to!

    My Failing Addresses are:
    60F89D0
    60FC378
    60FC390
    60FD410
    etc..

    Is there a way to tell which ram chip this is coming from by those addresses? If it is one I can remove, I will just replace it.

    There is no difference which chip. If RAM test failed all you can do is actually send it back ASAP. Don't wait until they'll be OUT OF STOCK..

    I sent it back. The problems worsened after my post. I don't think the RAM was truly at fault. I tried to get repeat addresses and it actually locked up during a memory test. System then had the black screen problem I see so much. Hit power button, button illuminates, nothing happens.
