I have been experiencing a lot of crashes with my computer letely. Whenever I play RAM intensive games my comp randomly restarts.
Is there a way that I can test and see which(if it isn't both) RAM module is corrupt?
 
Download Prime95. You can do a torture test on your RAM, CPU or both.

If you have more than 1 stick of memory, try taking one out after you run Prime95. Then try it again and see if it continues.
 
Could be a power supply problem if your computer restarts only when it is being stressed.

if you fail it, you'll want to raise your memory timings(raising them makes them slower but more stable). of course there are other factors about stability depending on the platform you are using.

also yea run prime95 for a while, see if it restarts. and of course there is always a possibility it could be your power supply. argh computers, so many possibilities. :)
