If your PC fails to boot, or displays a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death), occasionally this is caused by a faulty stick of ram.
One thing you could do to test the ram, is to download a program called memtest. Have a look at this website, for more details

Hope this helps

AnswerI'm the one who asked the question. Just to clarify - I'd like to understand how I might know when one of my RAM memory sticks on my Dell PC might be deteriorating or has gone bad. Thank you.

There is as far as im aware, no physical way of telling if a ram stick is going bad, apart from the issues, i stated above.
The simplest way of telling, is to download the program memtest, this will physically test the ram sticks, and let you know if it is deteriorating.
Sorry I cant be of more use to you at this time.
