    Random BSOD happening sometimes when not doing anything. Please Help


    So this is a recent build. Just setup in December of last year.
    About a month ago I started to get random bsod's, some say memory_management.... some dont. I have dont the sfc /scannow no issues. I have checked for malware as well as viruses, I have done a memtest with no errors. And all drivers are up-to-date. Please help!

    Dump files attached

    Any more info please just ask. And thank you!

    Hi ChunkyChub.

    There is a versatility in the bugchecks; and the first impression goes to hardware in that case.

    Test your RAM modules for possible errors.
    How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+
    Run memtest for at least 8 passes, preferably overnight.

    If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.

    Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.
    Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

    Stress test the CPU.
    Hardware - Stress Test With Prime95

    Are you overclocking? As you are getting BSODs, you should stop overclocking and run all the hardware components like CPU, GPU and RAM to their default settings.

    Uninstall the following programs:

    • Gigabytes On-Off Charger
    • Gigabyte Easy Tune.

    Let us know the results.

    Ran another memtest last night and got 16 errors total. here are the first 4 errors. the rest were the same. I did a stress test on the cpu and gpu with no issue.

    Now follow the "Part 3: If You Have Errors:" of How to Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+

    Errors/red lines means one or more RAM is faulty. But the fault may occur due to a faulty DIMM slot, too, which is a motherboard component. Using memtest86+, you can discriminate between a faulty RAM and a faulty motherboard.

    How? Say you have two RAM sticks and two DIMM slots. You obtained errors at the test with all RAM sticks installed. Now, remove all the sticks but one. Test it in all the available slots, one by one. Continue the same procedure for all the available sticks.
    How to make the inference that is it a RAM issue or it is a motherboard issue? Suppose you have got the result like that:

    No code has to be inserted here.

    It is a RAM, a bad RAM. You need to replace it with one having similar specs to the existing one.

    But if you have got a result like that:

    No code has to be inserted here.

    It is a motherboard issue. The particular slot is bad. Either leave that slot unoccupied or replace the motherboard.
