Memory Management BSOD

Flashie

My brother (lives 400km away at uni) plays league.

He has an i7 6700K.
He has an MSI Z170A Gaming Pro Carbon Gen 2 motherboard.

He has 8GB 2400MHz Crucial ram (1x8GB)

 

Recently he's been complaining about Memory Management BSOD's happening more frequently than previously.

BIOS is updated to the very latest version available on MSI's support page for the mobo.

SFC /scannow has been run.

Graphics drivers have been updated.

Chipset drivers reinstalled.

Windows Memory Diagnostics run (No errors found)

Keeping in mind I have no way to test the PC hardware immediately as i am 400km away. (Would have to wait a few more months till his Uni is out of session to do anything myself)

Points to RAM issues. Try running Memtest86 to do a more thorough test of the RAM. Is your brother reasonably tech savvy?

How many passes?

8 should be enough to weed out a bad DRAM stick. It will likely take a while to run though, so be sure to inform your brother of this.
