Whenever I play games, I constantly crash or BSOD. This has been happening for a LONG while now, but it recently (3-4 months) has gotten much worse. The games that wouldnt cause it are now also causing it. Here are my minidump files... I think:
031223-32359-01.dmp 3/12/2023 6:15:11 PM MEMORY_MANAGEMENT 0x0000001a 0000000000061941 0000000006cdc070 000000000000000d fffffd81d1bb73c0 ntoskrnl.exe ntoskrnl.exe+3fa090 x64 ntoskrnl.exe+3fa090 C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\031223-32359-01.dmp 16 15 19041 2,762,748 3/12/2023 6:21:11 PM
If these arent good enough, then let me know. Thank you.
 
Hey there,

Please list your PC specs in full. What bios are you running on your system?

In the meantime, I'd start with checking your memory outside of windows, using Memtest86+. Run it for 4 passes. If there are any errors, your memory is failing.
My specs are: RTX 3060 ti gpu, intel i7 11700k @3.6 GHz cpu, Gigabyte Technology Co. Z590 UD AC motherboard, 2 16gb DDR4 ram. I have 2 seperate terabyte hard drives and 2 seperate terabyte SSDs. With the potential ram error, I have replaced my ram once already. Two entirely new ram sticks. I will run the memtest later though.

something corrupted your pagefile.sys
for this problem you would turn off your virtual memory to delete the pagefile.sys then turn it back on again to make another.
then you would look to see what corrupted it.
IE update cpu chipset drivers, do a virus scan things like that.
run crystaldiskinfo.exe to read smart data from the drive to see if the drive is having problems.

i would run the intel software update
Intel® Driver & Support Assistant
this will pick up new versions of some chipset drivers. some old versions had a bug in the sleep functions that would corrupt pagefile.sys after repeated sleep wake cycles.
Sometimes these functions will depend on a bios update from your motherboard vendor.
Also, go to your motherboard vendor and check to see if there is a update to your motherboard sound driver. (another common cause of corruption)

fyi:
bugcheck code= 0x0000001a
error code =00061941
look up code 61941 in this list Bug Check 0x1A MEMORY_MANAGEMENT - Windows drivers | Microsoft Learn
The paging hierarchy is corrupted. Parameter 2 is a pointer to the virtual address that caused the fault.

there can be various causes for this. You might provide the actual minidump file to rule out some of the causes. (overclock drivers)
most likely it will be hard to tell with the minidump file.
