You can turn off the cache memory in the advanced settings of the 
BIOS.  The Cache memory is STATIC ram and a _GOOD_ computer 
service shop will have a ram tester.  But testing the cache memory 
is not a problem, as if you turn off the cache and the problem 
disappears then the you have bad cache ram, and the cache rams is 
not that costly at least here.
