BSOD - Memory_Management as well as other errors.
Hello!
I purchased parts and built a PC last week and have been running into a bit of a snag with random BSOD issues. The one that seems to be most common is "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" when I was running in Windows 8.
Last night I switched over to Windows 7 hoping that I would not run into the same problems. I installed my motherboard, video card, and other drivers as well as DOTA 2 from Steam. I played 2 games of DOTA 2 without any problems and left the system on to download from Battle.net and Steam. This morning when I went to check on downloads I logged onto my PC to see that the computer had restarted with an unexpected crash.
When I first started encountering BSOD it was when trying to download multiple games from Steam (I queued them up as Steam will only download one at a time).
Throughout the past week I have had BSOD occur during the following things.
1. Downloading games off of Steam (normally leads to Memory_Management)
2. Once when playing Dota 2
3. A string of BSOD after the initial when not doing much
4. Coming out of a state where I wasn't doing hardly anything, I moved my mouse and got a BSOD
The error also is not always the Memory_Management error. I have received other errors that I cannot recall off the top of my head.
I am currently in the process of getting my RAM switched out by Newegg but was looking for some other ideas. I ran a test on my harddrive, that passed. I did the windows memory check, that passed. I have had crashes with hardly any drivers on Windows 8. I have had crashed with all the drivers on Windows 8. Crashes on Windows 8.1, and now crashes on Windows 7 without the Windows update drivers.
The randomness of the crashes leads me to believe that it is the RAM which is why I requested a return, but I know computers are not that simple and it could be many other things. I came here hoping I could get some ideas thrown my way and also maybe have someone analyze the dump files (although I have never had to produce those before).
I am open to any suggestions/help that can be provided. Currently I am at work or I would do my best to provide some sort of files to analyze.
Thank you!
