Remove all but one. Do what ever you did that caused the failure. Switch to
the next chip and repeat.

Alternatively, you can install a RAM tester, but note that they can't test
all of the RAM but most of it.

Courtney answered your question, but I would just like to add that a bad RAM
chip, or almost any defective piece of hardware (except the hard drive), is
rarely a reason to re-install the operating system. A bad motherboard, if
different from the original, may be another reason to re-install, but not
always.
