How do I interpret the results from memtest86?
I ran it and it showed me on test 4 a failing address 00002eed7d8 - 46.8MB
What does this mean? Should I change my RAM?

It means you have at least one bad stick of RAM.
If you have just one module, replace it. If you have
more than one, remove one at a time and repeat
the test until you have identified the bad one, then
replace it.

I finally had the memory module changed and my PC has been working well. I've used
it for a couple of hours running Sims2... and it hasn't crashed again!
I did have some trouble getting it replaced, the shop is saying it didn't see any
error. And the irritating part about it is they didn't even run the memtest86 fully.
They're claiming that if you see 1 Pass, and don't see an error, then there's nothing
wrong with the memory!
But I had to be persistent and finally they gave me a replacement.
