Solved Memory Management BSODs--can't pinpoint the problem program

[jdhunter418]

Pretty frequent memory management BSODs are plaguing me..doesn't seem connected to any particular program but does happen a lot when firefox is open (could be coincidence?) I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hello jdhunter418 and welcome to Sevenforums.

Memtest86+

Looking at your bugcheck it's likely that a memory corruption event was triggered. Though a driver could be causing the memory to be borked, but we're usually suggesting a memory test before moving forward. Do a scan with Memtest86+. Memtest is a scanner that'll check your sticks for errors.

To ensure that we'll know if it's the slots on the motherboard that's broken, or the sticks itself - we have a little procedure we'll recommend. Remove 1 stick, scan the other with Memtest in the current slot. After 7 passes, move the stick to another slot and scan, and so on and so forth until you've scanned all the sticks, and all the slots, one by one.
