Question Consecutive blue screens every few months

Hey!

Ever since i got my computer i have been getting Blue screens. Most oftenly with the code Memory management or more seldomly Kernel Security Check Failure.

What's weird though is that i get a bunch of BSOD's during a day or two and then the computer is fine again for a few months. Now it has started again and i thought maybe i could get this solved with the help of this community.
Programs keep crashing and it sometimes tells me game filers are corrupt during this BSOD period.
I have changed RAM during this so it would be weird if there is a ram issue.

Thank you

Look in Reliability History/Monitor and Event Viewer for error codes, warnings, or even informational entries just before or at the time the BSOD's occur.

Reliability History/Monitor is end user friendly and the timeline format may reveal patterns.

Event Viewer requires more time and effort to navigate and to understand.

FYI:

How To - How to use Windows 10 Event Viewer | Tom's Hardware Forum (tomshardware.com)

Both tools support clicking any given entry for more details. The details may or may not be helpful.

Likely some app or utility may be trying to update, backup, or simply "phone home".

Also check Task Manager > Startup and Task Scheduler for any unknown/unrecognized apps running the background.
 
oldest bugcheck was caused by a 1 bit memory corruption in a pagefile.sys. these are hard to find the cause of.
you will want to delete your pagefile. in this case I would check the health of the drive but you also do not know where the corruption is coming from. IE you could have a bad spot on your disk/ssd or a bad spot in ram. Windows makes a copy of all the data in RAM then writes it to disk during sleep operations. When you boot back up it writes it from disk back into RAM.
during this process a single bit is being corrupted and that caused the bugcheck. system up time was pretty short in this bugcheck (5 minutes)
check the health status of the drive, I would also update the bios and drive storage driver.
(most likely poor health status of the drive as a cause)

------------
second bugcheck was a buffer overflow while running
PROCESS_NAME: dota2.exe
System Uptime: 0 days 0:08:41.656
--------
first fix attempt would be to update the bios to a current version, then from the motherboard vendor, then install the chipset drivers from the same location. I would then update the intel storage driver to a current version. if the motherboard vendor does not have the update then go to intel and get it.

I would also delete the pagefile.sys by turning off windows virtual memory then turn it back on. Or google how to make windows delete the pagefile.sys on system reboot. then make the registry settings and reboot the system

now, since your computer is pretty old, I would run crystaldiskinfo.exe and read the smart data from your drive and see if the drive is starting to fail. (ie look at the drive health)
(just looking to find out actual cause of the problem)

will look at the other dumps to see if the cause is more clear.
