    My month old Sager 8690 has been doing the BSOD/memory dump/reboot thing for the past week. Memtest indicates some bad memory. The vendor said he could just RMA the memory stick for me if I can figure out which one is bad, which is fantastic, but I can't find the memory. I haven't yet removed every single screw I can find and taken the whole bottom of the PC off, but I'm hoping someone can help me avoid that.

    That big panel on the upper side of the image (marked #1), basically 2/3 of the bottom of the chasis? That is the panel that covers the CPU, the GPU and the RAM slots.

    I hope you took the battery out before you removed the sticks. The instructions for removing the backpanel are in the user manual that came with your notebook.
