[Icypanda]

Hello guys and thanks for taking time out to listen to my problem, i'v been having problems with my computer since I got it built by one of my colleges, i'v been experiencing the memory_management BSOD. I'v run disk checks aswell as memory diagnostics but nothing has come up, I have attached all relevant files needed.

Hello Icypanda.

Install Service pack 1.

Your crash dumps are not showing any finite probable cause. In such a situation, it is better to enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

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

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

Hello there Arc and thanks for your reply i'll download SP1 and also driver verifier, i'll post back with my results as soon as I can.

Regards

Also whilst running driver verifier will it produce it's own crash report like the minidumps or will I still need to attach the minidumps from the same location as before?

The crashes that will be created by DV will be recorded in the same folder, and by executing the SF Diag tool, you will be able to extract them all.

Okay I have now attached all the updated files and crash logs.

It is caused by Atheros network adapter driver.

Update it from ATHEROS drivers for Microsoft Windows (Atheros?????).

BTW, have you taken the memtest? Let us know.

 

[Icypanda]

Hmm that's strange how do I find out what type of atheros device that I have? Also I did take the memory test and my memory sticks have passed without any errors.

 

[Icypanda]

The thing is I have gone onto my network adapters and I am currently using a TP-LINK 150 Mbps Wireless N Adapter so i'm not quite sure how I have a Atheros driver installed.

 

[Arc]

TP-LINK 150Mbps Wireless N Adapter .... this is your model.

[Icypanda]

Oh okay my apologies, I am not quite sure which download is suitable from the website you have given me Arc do you think you can guide me towards the correct download for my device please?

 

[AC]

Here you go! Install the first driver on the page.

[Icypanda]

Thanks for that Alonso but I don't think that is the correct driver for my wireless adapter I currently have a TP-LINK TL-WN751ND

 

[AC]

My apologies.

[Icypanda]

Haha not a problem

Thanks for that Alonso i'v installed it now so we'll see if the BSOD's stop, hopefully they will after this.

My computer was doing fine all day yesterday and today but at about 10:50pm I got another BSOD. It's the same error message as before.
