BSOD Memory_Management / Special_Pool_Detected_Memory_Management
Hi,
From time to time my desktop has suffered a blue screen now and again. I generally ran Memtest to find that there were errors with my RAM. I currently have four DDR3 sticks of 2 GB. I tested them by removing them and then reinserting them back into my motherboard until the errors stopped, as a means of seeing if the problem was localized to a single slot in the motherboard, or until the errors themselves stopped. Generally the errors would stop at some point and I would be able to continue ordinary tasks (gaming, email, browsing, etc.) with the full 8 GBs utilizing all four slots in the motherboard.
Recently, however, I suffered a BSOD which did not result in a failure in memtest leading me to believe that the problem may be related to something else. I activated driver verifier and went about my business until another failure occurred. One of my save files in Football Manager 2013 became corrupted (has been a "canary in the mine" for me before) and Borderlands 2 wouldn't start, followed by it starting once and then crashing. The Borderlands 2 crashes pointed to the kernel.
Afterwards I attempted to update my AMD graphics drivers, which spawned the first BSOD to occur after I ran driver verifier.
Thanks in advance.
