Windows 7: BSOD at startup (only?), (Memory Corruption)

MarcusSJ · 24 Oct 2012

Hello!
I get BSOD upon startup. But not everytime I start the PC. It's like once a day, and often when I start the PC for the first time in the morning. I hope some of you guys can give me some help. The only thing I catched from the dump file was something about a memory corruption...

Thanks in advance
