Memory management screen (Windows 10)

[JudgeJac]

Hey everyone,

 

PC noobie here. I finished building my first pc yesterday and everything seems to be working and registering fine. 

 

The only problem I have is encountering the Memory Management blue screen quite frequently. Is this a problem with the drivers perhaps? Do you need to update RAM drivers after initial start-up as well? I've done so for my GTX 1080.

 

Btw, it is 16gb (2 × 8gb) of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 dimms.

RAM isn't a thing that has drivers.

My first thought would be a faulty stick, or, somehow, a compatibility issue.

Yep, just read some other articles and realised RAM doesn't have drivers. 

 

Okay, well the Mobo picks up the RAM and I can see it in PC properties. Maybe go into the Bios and set the speed it's supposed to be running at. At the moment it's on 'auto'? It's capable of 3000mhz.

Run memtest86+ for a few hours to make sure your RAM isn't faulty. Test one stick at a time to expedite the diagnosis.

Great, thanks. Will give it a go.
