Windows 7 BSOD memory management

[lostinspace]

Hi, I built a pc late last year.
(not sure which specs you need)
core i5 proc
motherboard ASUS P6T DELUXE V2 1366 X58 RT
VGA PNY VCGGTX260CXPB GTX 260 (nvidia video card)
6GB OCZ memory

I went ahead and put windows 7 (64 bit) on the box, I'm mostly playing games with it. I've been plagued with BSOD (memory management) everything I'm seeing on the boards says I need to look at my DMP file, but when I open it with the WinDbg all I see are hieroglyphs. My suspicion is that I have bad memory, it looks like there is a way for me to test them to tell which are good and which are bad, I'm not sure what to do, for that matter I'm not entirely sure it is bad memory. I've downloaded the latest drivers for everything I could think of, could use some help if you have any ideas. I tried to upload the dmp file but it isn't a valid file type to upload.

Try right-clicking on the executable file itself,choose the Compatibility tab and run it in XP mode.

There are also other adjustments you can make here.

Good luck.

There is a lot of different things you can try, but I would first recommend investigating (googling) XMP mode it seems that with some memory it's better left off and with some memory in needs to be on. Maybe experiment, if it's on turn it off or vice versa. See if that helps

I got the dmp to finally open up. Here is what I am seeing. I hit the !analyze to get the second set of data. I'm not sure what to make of the (Probably caused by : ntkrnlmp.exe) and the (DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID: VISTA_DRIVER_FAULT) in the second set of data.

As I said earlier, check to see if the issue is XMP mode, here is a link to one of several articles involving you MoBo ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Forum- RAM XMP Causes Windows 7 to Freeze
