(Even though Google Chrome team have added a few stupid thing recently - the chrome store button where recently closed button was and the fact your can't reorder or pin your most visited page any more.)
I didn't know people used the 'recently closed' button; Ctrl+Shift+T is so much easier. More or less the same with the Most Visited page; it's usually no more than 5-7 keystrokes to get to a page you frequently visit - F6 + first 1-3 letters of the URL + enter. Down key once maybe a few times before enter if you're looking for a specific page on the same domain, Ctrl+t if you need to open a tab rather than using the existing one.

1. Pull out one of the modules and test whether it registers, run Memtest on it.
2. Pull that one out, swap it with the other module, run Memtest on it if it works.
After those two steps you will know whether the modules are working or not. If they're both in working order then perhaps the other slot on your motherboard is dirty, broken or malfunctioning, but that's something to worry about later. First thing's first - determine if both modules are working fine.

Quoting because it really is the best option. The Linux Mint disc should have a Memtest option of some sort at bootup, and testing if the machine boots and runs an OS properly (Windows or Linux, doesn't matter) with either stick individually might even be quicker though not always entirely telling.
