My laptop has some serious RAM reading errors. Sometimes the bad block gets mapped to VRAM and there is garbled 64x64 RGBA overlay on screen, otherwise programs or the kernel just crash. It is probably not actually the RAM, which I since upgraded, but a soldered-in chipset... It is rare enough (about 1x/day) to be usable though.
