Memory Management/ IRQL BSOD

I started getting Memory Management and IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL BSODs randomly a few months ago. The only common factor as to when they happen is that I leave my computer without user input. So when I am rendering in Blender or downloading a steam or Uplay game (Yes Rainbow Six Siege, I am looking at your 70 gigabytes on my 2.5 MBps internet) and walk away, I will come back and it will have restarted. I observed this by leaving it running for a while and reading a book (WHAT IS THIS SORCERY, A BOOK!?) until I saw that telltale blue light from across the room. It is always the Memory Management or IRQL BSOD. I have not run memtest because I don't have the time and am fairly convinced it might be a corrupt file since I get crashes in Planetside 2 relating to corrupt drivers, I have updated all my drivers and such and STILL NOTHING. Any help is appreciated.

Either memory or processor memory manager is defective for the Mem_Management error, but the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error can be caused by faulty hardware of any kind. Even a dead mouse or keyboard!

idk

Could an External CD drive that randomly turns off and on cause the IRQL error?

Possibly, it's worth a try. Mine was caused by a dead unused mouse, so..

Why would the Memory Management only happen when I leave it unattended? Because the IRQL has happened once or twice while I was using it. And would there be a way to check for aforementioned faulty parts?

It's probably just a coincidence. Run Memtest overnight and see if it shows any memory errors.

I ran memtest overnight. Its still running and is on test 13 of pass 3, but shows 21 errors. Is this enough proof?

Contact your memory manufacturer, it's faulty.

Thanks for the help. Kingston has a cross shipping thing that I will do so that I only have to send back the faulty RAM after I get the new set.
