well seriously speaking...rams can b repaired no doubt.......but c.....first if its warranty its better to replace if not......thn if u go for repairing...than inorder to check which chip has error and replacing that will cost more than ram cost.......as theequipment to test this are not with everyone ...so its better to get new or replaced...i havent seen anyone repairing their ram......

Sometimes it can,
I had a ram...and after some experimenting it got unstable at stock timings,speed,voltage,
My system used to restart as soon as it booted....I ran memtest 86 for about 12hrs and...I don't know what happened but it became stABLE...rock stable..and normal..
So try running memtest about 2 times, and see, if u r lucky then u might turn up with the ram fixed.. :)
