You should verify the DIMMs one at a time on the 780.

You'll also need to use your recollection of how much
RAM it was reporting before this happened. Were both
DIMMs operational at some time ? Or has that one been
sitting on an angle for a while ?

For example, say the DIMMs were 2x1GB. Were you seeing
1GB reported in Task Manager ? Or was 2GB reported from
the day you took delivery of the 780 ? If you've been
operating the machine without the benefit of that
second DIMM, maybe you don't need it. If you do need it,
and the second DIMM tests bad, then you could buy another.

You can "use the slots that don't complain" if you want,
or find the entry in the 780 manual that explains how to
reprogram that feature so the other slots are honored.

Flash is currently at 27.0.0.187

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/

Here is a set of links I posted a year ago.
Substitute the 27.0.0.187 number in the field
where it says 23.0.0.207.

Netscape, Seamonkey, Firefox (npapi-type browsers...)

   
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/23.0.0.207/install_flash_player
.exe

Older versions of Internet Explorer which don't have built-in flash

   
http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/23.0.0.207/install_flash_player
_ax.exe

An uninstaller (if it was really broken or something)

   
http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_
player.exe

Test page, so you can check the version number on it.

    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

So that means, you want this one right now for Firefox. It downloaded.

http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/27.0.0.187/install_flash_player
.exe

When you download one of those, if you plan to keep it,
you should modify the filename so you can remember
what it's for. "install_flash_player__27_0_0_187_npapi.exe"

For SRWare Iron (a defunct Chrome-a-like for WinXP),
you'd need PepperFlash (ppapi) plugin.

   
https://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/27.0.0.187/install_flash_playe
r_ppapi.exe

In the table here, when it says "embedded", that means
the browser should download it (somehow) on its own.
So Chrome takes care of itself, while Chromium requires
the user to do the manual ppapi download. On embedded browsers,
the delivery of the plugin isn't always uniformly fast,
and sometimes an update can be a day late on those.
It all depends on which way the wind is blowing at the time.
