The free version of MemTest you tried from 
http://hcidesign.com/memtest/download.html
should work even though it states it can't check every byte under Windows. I have 
used this same version before myself.

If you can't even get MemTest to run properly then those few bytes that can't be 
tested under Windows won't make any difference.

If you are lucky only the RAM is bad and it's not a sign the motherboard is on it's 
way out.

Why don't you swap out the the stick of RAM in the computer with the other stick 
you have and see what happens.
