Windows 7: Memory Management BSOD

1651694 · 03 Apr 2011

Experiencing completely random BSODs with 'Memory Management' error. These occur out of nowhere, usually after a few hours, even on unintensive tasks such as browsing web. Tested each RAM stick individually in memtest86+, 10+ passes no errors. Using one stick, I have yet to crash. The crashes only occur when combined, tried placing them paired and unpaired, the latter resulted in a crash much faster than usual. Set BIOS timings manually to 5-5-5-18-23, values reported by CPU-Z prior. Have yet to run a test on multiple sticks together.

Specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
500W Antec Earthwatts
4GB Elixir RAM + 2GB AData (any combination of 2 or more sticks inevitably results in crash)
ASUS P5N-SLI
Intel Q6600 2.4GHz quad
Gigabyte GTX460 (single)

PSU and GPU are new, rest are a couple years old

appreciate any help

Your Avast Security software is the cause, please remove it and use MSE

Your Old Brother printer is obsolete and the driver it is currently using is out of date
Please visit the manufacturer's website and update the driver

Uninstall your old printer driver since it is obsolete
Enable Driver Verifier since dumps show no probable causes
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Then upload the newly created dumps

just checked windows update, says there is an update for my printer driver. should I install that first?
also about driver verifier, does my computer need to be on for 24 hours straight?

Install the new update. Nope the process will normally take 1-2 hours max

after a couple driver verifier crashes at boot, hung at boot screen (glowing windows icon) for about 5 minutes, so booted into safe mode + networking. did not achieve full boot under driver verifier.
dump attached (no perfmon due to safe mode)

**yowanvista** · 04 Apr 2011

You can safely turn off driver verifier from safe mode

ASACPI.sys the 2005 version is a huge cause of BSODs

Information

The 2005 version of this driver is a known BSOD cause.
Please visit this link: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download P7P55D LE
Scroll down to the Utilities category, then scroll down to the "ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Windows 7 32&64-bit" (it's about the 12th item down).
Download and install it.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers to check and make sure that the ASACPI.sys file is date stamped from 2009 or 2010 (NOT 2005)

Code:

ASACPI.sys        fffff880`05421000    fffff880`05429000    0x00008000    0x42476c4c    28/03/2005 06:30:36

You will need to remove any LogMeIn software since the driver it is using is outdated

Code:

lmimirr.sys        fffff880`05429000    fffff880`05430000    0x00007000    0x461c108d    11/04/2007 02:32:45
