Help with Memory Management BSOD
I'm re-posting a thread I made in PCmasterrace.
​
I'm in need of some serious help. Earlier this week I started getting BSOD "memory management" crashes, which started causing crash loops so I couldn't troubleshoot it very much. I did some googling and began my troubleshooting procedures to get myself up and running. Here is what I have done so far:
Memory Diagnostic - Immediate hardware failure. So I thought RAM sticks were burnt out (they were 5 years old anyway) or my SSD (3 years old) was damaged or corrupted.
I bought new RAM sticks and SSD (time for upgrade anyway) replaced and installed properly. Still crashing, same error
Verified/Updated and downloaded drivers for everything as needed. All up to date. Still crashing, same error
Pulled one RAM stick and ran Memory Diagnostic, no error. Assume this stick/slot is good. Did the same with the other stick in the other slot, no error. Plug both RAM sticks back in and run Memory Diagnostic, no error. Hmm, maybe I didn't snap my RAM sticks in properly, causing the crash. Played video games, downloaded programs to get my computer back the way I like it (roughly 4 hours of use), no issues. About an hour after a 4 hour gaming session, I figured everything was fine so I download another game...BSOD, Memory Management.... what am I missing here? A link to my build

I want to add that I can't consistently replicate the crash anymore. Downloading Overwatch, crash. Download it again, no crash. Download PoE, crash. Download again, no crash. Quite frustrating.

Since this post, I have downloaded memtest86 and ran it with over 5,000 errors that I haven't figured out how to decipher. I understand that many errors is a serious issue but I'm able to download files, game, browse the web, run GPU/CPU tests, and almost anything else without forcing it to crash. The last 3 crashes have come while the computer is simply idling (not sleeping). I can post some crash dumps if anyone wants to try and help me diagnose this problem. All signs are pointing to mobo dying but its so damn inconsistent, I can't replicate the crash.
