Help! Recurring BSOD "MEMORY MANAGEMENT" Errors on Windows 11

Asked by TechGuru42
I've been dealing with these frustrating "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors on my Windows 11 PC, and I'm stuck trying to figure out the cause. I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic, but it didn't find any issues. I'm hoping someone more experienced can help me analyze the dump files I've uploaded. Here are my system specs for context: - CPU: Intel i5-14600k - Motherboard: MSI Z790 PROJECT ZERO - RAM: CORSAIR DOMINATOR TITANIUM 2 x 16GB 7200mhz - GPU: GIGABYTE RTX 4070 SUPER EAGLE OC 12GB Any help or troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

To properly analyze BSODs, we need your dump files, which contain crash logs. If you can boot into Windows normally or via Safe Mode, check the folder at C:WindowsMinidump for any dump files. Copy the folder to your desktop, zip it up, and then upload it somewhere like mediafire or catbox.moe since Reddit sometimes blocks certain file hosts. The more dump files you can provide, the better! If you only have one, upload that and follow a guide to set your dump type to Small Memory Dump for future crashes.

Sounds like you're already on the right track! Just keep in mind the importance of not using XMP settings beyond the supported speeds as it can void your warranty. You can check for CPU issues by monitoring temperatures and performance when running demanding tasks. If the CPU overheats or shows consistent instability, that can point to problems. Also, be sure to document any symptoms carefully if you ever need to return it under warranty.

The dumps seem to indicate a memory issue, but keep in mind that โ€˜memoryโ€™ could refer to either RAM or storage. Since your BIOS is updated, rule out overclocking first. If youโ€™re overclocking or using an XMP profile above 5600MT/s, reset it. Try testing your RAM by using one stick at a timeโ€”if one stick causes crashes, itโ€™s likely faulty. If both do, the issue might be with the CPU. Also, Intel CPUs have had some voltage issues that can damage them, which can also mimic memory problems. Make sure to keep your BIOS updated to avoid that!
