All transistor devices have what is known as "infant mortality," which
means they will probably fail early in life if there is a defect, but
then last a long time with clean power.

Often if you have more than one stick of memory (they frequently come in
fours), then you can remove one at a time and find the faulty one
through trial and error.

Does this happen-working okay and then failing or does it usually fail right away if it is going to. I'm going to return the memory but I don't know if I should try exchanging it or just get a refund if for some reason the computer is just rejecting new memory.
