Oh, sorry, I didn't get the question.

I wouldn't know. Bad RAM causes all sorts of random stuff, all sorts. It can generate a lot of noticeable malfunctions in the system. Think about it: RAM is all the time overwriting itself, the OS needs to make use of the RAM all the time, programs are constantly writing information in the RAM...

I'm not a kernel hacker, so I don't exactly know what are the steps the OS kernel takes when it writes data to a hard drive. My hunch is that it requires, to some degree or the other, an amount of RAM to do it. After that, whether bad RAM affects or not the files being written would probably depend on the particular case (that is, the particular malfunction the piece of RAM is suffering).
