BSOD memory_management while casual browsing
I've had issues with BSOD for about two months now.
Windows 7 x64, OEM, original installed OS on system
2 months old refurb HP Pavilion dv6
4 GB RAM, 500GB Hard Drive
AMD Turion(tm) II P560 Dual-Core Processor 2.50 GHz
BSOD occurs about once a day, every once in awhile it will occur more. I do light internet browsing and use Microsoft Word for school. The most intensive task I do is streaming a movie or two. I've noticed that often times a Shockwave crash or Aw, Snap! (Chrome crash) will precede the BSOD. Clear of viruses and malware. I took it to a local shop, guy wasn't very helpful and thought it might be a temperature issue; speedfan shows my temperature is well below the recommended 97 F. HP support told me to do system recovery, insisted that my files are corrupt. However, everything I've read about BSOD and the errors I've been seeing points to memory issues. Ran memtest and got some errors (attached a pic of memtest running). I wanted to get a second opinion here before I do system recovery (a lot of work to install programs, customize, etc). Any help is appreciated
