    Keep getting random BSOD


    It's very random. Sometimes when I go afk, I'll come back with a message that says it recovered from a crash. This has been happening a lot lately; about twice a day. I get a BSOD sometimes, but not as much as lately.

    These were probably caused by memory corruption. I would download memtestx86 and run it for 5 passes

    Let us know the results

    CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION (109)
    This bugcheck is generated when the kernel detects that critical kernel code or
    data have been corrupted. There are generally three causes for a corruption:
    1) A driver has inadvertently or deliberately modified critical kernel code
     or data. See http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/kernel/64bitPatching.mspx
    2) A developer attempted to set a normal kernel breakpoint using a kernel
     debugger that was not attached when the system was booted. Normal breakpoints,
     "bp", can only be set if the debugger is attached at boot time. Hardware
     breakpoints, "ba", can be set at any time.
    3) A hardware corruption occurred, e.g. failing RAM holding kernel code or data.
    Arguments:
    Arg1: a3a039d8962196a1, Reserved
    Arg2: b3b7465ee89e68cf, Reserved
    Arg3: fffff80002d3bce0, Failure type dependent information
    Arg4: 0000000000000001, Type of corrupted region, can be
        0 : A generic data region
        1 : Modification of a function or .pdata
        2 : A processor IDT
        3 : A processor GDT
        4 : Type 1 process list corruption
        5 : Type 2 process list corruption
        6 : Debug routine modification
        7 : Critical MSR modification

    I ran it for one pass; I seriously didn't know it would take so long. I'll try again tomorrow.

    No errors on the first pass?

    The reason for 5 passes is to bleed the memory and see if it breaks, and to test for heat issues

    I tried again and got an error this time. The test % has been stuck for a while, and the Errors per memory slot keeps going up. I had to turn the computer off manually since ESC didn't work.

    Edit: Updated with pic 2 after one pass.
