Mac SE address error when formating disks (floppy or HDD)

Hi guys.

I have this Mac SE that was running fine.

But its HD stopped like many others I had here due to time, if think.

I put an replacement and started the system (as I usually do with all my Compact/Classic Macs) using my external SCSI Zip Drive using  System 7.5.5

Started the formating of the HDD and at the end the System rebooted.
I tried again with different softwares and the same happened.

I fired it up today and used an System 6.0.8 disk and instead of resetting the mac, I got an error, Address Error.... 

Tried to format a floppy and the same happen.

What would cause this, bad RAM?
How can I test it?

Cheers!
