Do what I did when my sons did the same thing. Put your "good" RAM in and start the computer. Int he search bar of windows 7 search for memory and click the memory test. It will reboot he computer. It will say you hada hardware failure.
Turn off computer.
Remove one stick of RAM.
Repeat process. If it fails again, shutdown, reinsert the RAM and take the next stick out. Repeat the process until you find the bad stick and/or slot.
Once you find the culprit, swap the "bad" stick with a good one and test it again.
I did this and determined my sons motherboard has a bad RAM slot.
