It's hard to determine what you're saying. The amount of memory shouldn't change, with moving the memory around, unless the mother board has some restriction on memory placement. Does it? It is entirely possible that an apparent memory error will occur, if there's a poor connection, caused by dirt etc. I wouldn't call a reduced amount of available memory "free of defects". If you can't access some memory that's plugged in, there's a problem somewhere.
I had a problem recently with a MSI motherboard. It wouldn't see all the memory and sometime see no memory at all, depending on DIMM placement. A BIOS upgrade fixed the problem. Check motherboard manufacturers website to see if this is a known problem with that specific motherboard. -- Robert "roach" Spencer Pietermaritzburg South Africa
