1. One or more computer-readable storage media, storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, configure a processor to perform acts for detecting and reliably recording memory faults, the acts comprising: writing data to a location in memory; reading the data from the location in memory after writing the data to the location in memory; comparing the written data to the read data to determine if they match; and actuating a parity bit in the location in memory in order to record when the written data does not match the read data.
