BugCheck 0x1A is defined by Microsoft as follows:

Quote:

The MEMORY_MANAGEMENT bug check has a value of 0x0000001A. This indicates that a severe memory management error occurred.

It would appear therefore that you have bad memory modules. You can try the following:

If you have overclocked your memory, try returning the memory timings back to defaults.
Remove you existing memory, then use a air blower to remove dust from the DIMMS, then put you memory back in and see if the problem comes back.
If you still have a problem, try replacing the memory

Thanks for quick response. I havnt overclocked anything on the pc so will give the other suggestions a try. I will report back as to what the outcome is. Once again thankyou for your input.

IT was a memory problem. I ran memory diagnostics from the bios and this confirmed that a stick of memory was faulty (tested in different sockets to confirm).
