asus eee pc 1101HA: memtest error

[Colin Brace]

Hi all,

I installed F12 on an Asus Eee 1101HA. Apart from the Intel GMA 500
("Poulbos") video driver, I have gotten most things working, but I am
troubled by frequent system freezes, sometimes literally within minutes of
booting.

There are no error messages reported in the system log, so I am assuming it
is a hardware problem.

Just now I am running memtest from the Live OS (F12) on an USB stick. It has
run now for some 8 hours, and during the 2nd pass I got an error message:

Tst: 7
Pass: 2
Failing address: 00007ba7454 - 123.6MB
Good: 2aa1e9b
Bad: 0aa1e19b
Err-Bits: 20000000
Count: 1
Chan:

This netbook came with a factory-installed 2GB SIMM. Am I now justified in
returning it to Acer as defective?

Thanks,

-Colin
