I found this article particularly interesting.
It's about an issue called "row hammer" what happens is that frequent or rapid use of a single row can and will disturb adjacent rows data.
Thus it corrupts the storage caps with the over use of a single row.

This link to an article regarding this issue will explain it far better than I can.

This can really mess up things such as games image processing etc. In fact it can crash the machine.
