Do a google search on "p.c. diagnostics" There are a number of free services out there that seem pretty good.

First Suggestion - get rid of WinME ~ try Win98 or Win2000

Second Suggestion - in the days when I had Win98, ME, I used a program called RamBOOSTER, its on zdnet.com for free - always worked for me. AdAware might help and so will SpyBot, also on ZDNET for free

The true question is not whether ram can go bad or not, but what process or rogue process is "clogging" your pc - you need to find that - I've salvaged ram from computers on the side of the road, sdram is especially stable, either works or doesnt normally, but I do believe that it could go bad in some cases.
