That's quite good! In more than 20 years of IT-activity i had just one
defective module from Kingston which they replaced after a little
"discussion" which i had not expected (to my knowledge they still offer
lifelong guarantee).

But You should be able to "proof" by some kind of error log or whatever
that it is their memory that's causing Your problem.

Sorry for You but there might be a lot of other causes for Your problems
... (graphics adaptor, memory, cpu, mainboard, nic or any other adaptor,
psu ... just to name the most prospective ...)

Google might be Your friend ...! ;-)

For example i found these in just seconds:

Good luck but You should be able to have some "proof" or at least a very
thorough hint / indication for each of them. You should not expect that
any manufacturer is just too glad about any kind of RMA-transactions ...
Sorry!

Did You buy all the parts of Your system at only one dealer? Then, at
least here in Germany, You should only have to "contact" Your dealer and
not several manufacturers as these tend to "believe" that it is  of
course not their product that is causing the problems as these are "of
course" free of any faults and that You should therefore contact
somebody else ...

Still good luck!
