You need to provide more details about the problem. You haven't given us much to work with. How did you determine that it was a memory problem? Additional information such as the output for the following commands would be helpful: free -m ps auwxx If you actually think it might be faulty RAM, you should download the tool "memtester" and run it.

use top to see which process eating your memory much or check dmesg or /var/log/messages to see if there is memory failure
