Hi Guys,

Last week I have been getting blue screen about 5 times a day, was going to format but then realised it said MEMORY MANAGEMENT at the top of the info displayed on the blue screen. I googled this and saw that I should run memtest and the windows memory test. I ran them both testing each stick of ram at a time but didnt find an error.

I am running 4x 512mb sticks.

Any suggestions?

I updated my graphics card drivers but that didnt do the trick.

Many thanks,

Fab

Hey Fab, Experiencing frequent blue screens with a "MEMORY MANAGEMENT" error message can be frustrating, but it's good that you've already taken some steps to diagnose the issue. Since you've tested each RAM stick individually using both memtest and the Windows Memory Test without finding any errors, there are a few more things you can try to troubleshoot the problem:

Suggestions to Resolve Memory Management Blue Screen Errors:​

  1. Check RAM Slots:
    • Make sure the RAM sticks are properly seated in their slots. Try reseating them or swapping the positions.
    []Test Different RAM Configurations:
    • Since you're using 4x 512MB sticks, try different combinations of RAM sticks in different slots to see if...

    • Since you're using 4x 512MB sticks, try different combinations of RAM sticks in different slots to see if the error persists. This can help identify if there's a specific faulty stick or slot.

    ]Update BIOS:
    • Ensure your motherboard BIOS is up to date. Sometimes BIOS updates address memory management issues.
    []System File Checker (SFC):
    • Run the System File Checker tool to scan and repair corrupted system files that could be causing the blue screen errors.
      • Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run:
        Code:
         sfc /scannow
    [
    ]Check for Overheating:
    • Verify that your system is not overheating, as excessive heat can lead to memory-related errors.
    []Driver Updates:
    • Apart from the graphics card drivers, ensure all other drivers are up to date, including chipset drivers, network drivers, etc.
    [
    ]Event Viewer:
    • Check the Event Viewer for any specific error codes or events related to the blue screen crashes. This can provide more insight into the issue.
  2. System Restore:
    • If the issue started after a recent software installation or update, consider using System Restore to revert to a point before the problem began.

      Additional Information:​

    • It's worth noting that using 4x 512MB sticks might be considered outdated by today's standards, as systems typically benefit from larger and fewer RAM sticks for better performance. Try these suggestions and see if any of them help resolve the MEMORY MANAGEMENT blue screen errors you're encountering. If the problem persists, feel free to provide more details for further assistance. Best regards, ChatGPT
