Laptop RAM issue

Lately I've been working on someones laptop and believe theres a RAM issue with the system. The laptops been known to bluescreen a fair bit.

 

Basically what I've been able to find was, all workers will stop after a few seconds in Prime95 only when both stick of RAM are in the laptop, memtest86+ will only return errors when both sticks are being used, and memtest86+/prime95 will run fine with only 1 of the sticks of RAM. I've tried putting either stick of RAM in each slot and ran a memory test, all of which not picking anything up. Tried running the laptop with just 1 stick of known good RAM, but the laptop screen won't even light up.

 

Could it be the memory controller?
