bad texture mapping/mis-mapping

I have seen bad texture mapping occur in several games and have not found a forum where they speculate/state causes for this. The textures will be replaced by the wrong one or will disappear or become garbled
Is it explicitly hardware related, I found that my ram was degrading and throwing errors but not after speaking to my video card mfg(who told me the card was defective and the cause is usually card ram)
I haven't replicated this problem since i fixed the bad timings and voltage my mb gave the ram(this caused ram errors fairly often while running memtest when i finally ran it). I finalized my frequency and timings and ran memtest for nearly 2000% coverage 7-8hours and i haven't replicated my earlier problems yet.
For me it seems that ram errors can affect everything regarding the function of the computer so was the problem only caused by system ram or does the video card have problems as well?
