As in such efficiency of RAM i dont know much
But you can check if your RAM has bad sectors or no by using the memtest software at www.memtest.org

ya memtest will do the job
better boot from a linux cd cd a check

go to www.memtest86.com and download the iso .. burn it to a cd and u will have a bootable memtest86 cd .. boot from the cd and let the test run for min 4 hours. if u get no errors , your ram is fine.
