I've been dealing with Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors every few days, and they are indicating a Memory Management issue with the code 0x1a. I've run Memtest, and it came back clear with all passes. My system is a new Windows 11 setup with 32 GB of RAM (2x16 sticks). I've analyzed the crash dump file from one of these incidents using WinDbg. I've also shared the dump file in a zip format for further inspection. Does anyone have a clue what might be causing these crashes?

Where did you get your system? If it’s a custom build, knowing the specs would help a lot. You can use spec-ify.com to share your build details, and if you can, posting a picture of the inside of your PC can help too. Since your dump is citing "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT - ntkrnlmp.exe", if you have an AMD CPU, I recommend using ycruncher for stress testing. You might also want to run OCCT for Intel. Monitor your temperatures during these tests using HWInfo to catch any overheating issues.
If the ycruncher site isn’t working, you might check alternative sources like GitHub or forums for the latest version. Also, keep an eye on connections and seating of your RAM; sometimes, reseating them can resolve stability issues.
It sounds frustrating! Since you’ve done Memtest and it passed, let’s look at a few things. Make sure to check your system's BIOS settings, as incorrect configurations can lead to data issues. Also, ensure you have backups just in case. For BSOD analysis, you should check your C:WindowsMinidump folder for any dump files from the crashes. Multiple dump files can provide a better insight. You can zip that folder and upload it to a file hosting site like catbox.moe or similar, as some sites tend to get blocked.
I actually built it myself! Here’s my spec link: https://spec-ify.com/profile/be2aee8b.
As for the inside of the PC, here's a picture: https://imgur.com/a/qWgMOmV. The RAM sticks are under the CPU cooler.
I want to do those stress tests but I’m having trouble with ycruncher since their website isn't loading for me, and I've already done a Memtest that came back fine.
