I kept getting BSOD's with windows xp even after fresh installs so I decided to try windows 7 but i'm still getting them.
I also ran a memtest and it said my ram passed so I am at a loss as to what to do. I have attached two different minidumps cause they are different codes, any help would be appreciated.
Try updating this driver as a starting point:
Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\ASACPI.sys
Image name: ASACPI.sys

Make sure when you test the ram, that you check each one individually. I ran test with 2 sticks and got no errors. I ran one stick and discovered a bad stick.
Well no luck I updated ASACPI.sys and I just got the memory management BSOD.
Any other suggestions..
oh I forgot to mention that my system is now freezing without a bsod on occasion and then the only thing I can do is force a reboot
These are all highly suggestive of memory unreliability. You might want to try one more "vanilla" reinstall of the OS - absolutely nothing that's not on the Windows disc - and run that way for a while to check whether the crashes are still happening. If so, it's hardware beyond reasonable doubt.
Memory diagnostics rarely do false positives, but they frequently produce false negatives. It would be a good idea to run diagnostics for 12+ hours, take out some of the RAM sticks, play with stick combinations...
It doesn't look like a software crash
will do then...so your thinking its at least one of my ram sticks then?
