It was experiencing random crashes, which prompted me to run a RAM Diagnostic. This failed, so my next step was to try reseating the modules... it was then that I noticed that a Dell label had become detached from the module and fallen in between the contacts in the slot! I can't believe Dell would use an adhesive which obviously degrades due to heat! Ridiculous... Plus, the machine in question was only a year old. @SomeDude – I’d be inclined to gently clean the contacts of the module after mercilessly torturing said victim… lol
