If you bought the memory locally take it back.  Have them put it on a
memory tester and or exchange it.  Software mem testers are unreliable.
I would say for every 20 to 30 sticks I buy at work one is bad.  It
isn't that uncommon.  Stick your old memory back in or grab some out of
a different computer.  If your computer smoothes out you'll know the
memory was more than likely bad.  There really isn't any reason to 
continue wasting your time "testing" it at home.
