Blue Screen Memory Management

[Daniel_1104]

Hi so I have a fairly old system, i7 3700k OC @ 4.6Ghz, but recently i’ve been getting blue screened a lot, to a point where I can’t even turn my pc on for more than 5 mins without it happening, so I just can’t use the PC for that day. Normally by the next day it will go away or work about after 3-5 boots. 

 

Quick run down on what happens, my PC boots, I log into windows and be at the desktop and have to wait anywhere from 1-5 mins before the error shuts down the PC. 
 

I have messed about with it a fair bit and the issue seems to be much less constant if I take out 1 memory module. I bit the bullet yesterday and brought some new DDR3 ram (Was very expensive) and thought it fixed my problems. I turned my PC on again today and the issue happens again. 

 

Any ideas on what it could be?

 

PS i’m looking to upgrade the system so I just need a temp fix.

when i was having this issue with my xeon i tried playing with the ram and in the end it ended up being a bad sata cable so that might also be a place to check.

Bad sata cable for the drives?

yes memory management can be both storage or memory. you can also check your virtual memory limit in windows since too low or too high can cause bsod but in my case when i was having the same issue it was simply a sata cable

Interesting, by any chance do you know if a 2nd drive without the operating system could blue screen could give this error message?

that might be possible try unplugging your spare drives and leave just the ssd then see if the problem persists

Just an update if anyone had the same problem. The issue was a virus and my windows defender uninstalled itself so it was able to crash my computer constantly. I had to manually update windows because the virus corrupted the auto update. After the manual update and the anti virus scan the issue has not stopped fingers crossed
