Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing a once a day Memory Management BSOD (typically 0x0000001A).

I have run 7 passes on Memtest 86+ and gotten 0 errors, and at this point I'm not sure what I should do next.

Below is a summary of installed hardware:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955
Motherboard: Micro-STAR 790FX-GD70
Memory: 8GB Kingston DDR3
GPU: Radeon HD 5750

We're running on Windows 7 64 Bit as well.

In addition, I have tried increasing the CPU/NB voltage up to 1.4 based on the recommendation of a member of this forum, which seemed to help for a while but now the BSOD seems to have become more frequent.

I am at my wits end and do not know what to do next or which parts to replace.

Any help would be extremely welcome.
 
Ok, I've lowered the ram freq to 1066 (it was running at 1333).

I also popped a PFN list error as I was shutting down to make the change, don't know if that means anything.

Will report back if its more stable now.
 
Hey everyone.

I recently moved the computer out of the hottest room in the house and the errors stopped completely, leading me to believe that heat was the problem the whole time.

Unfortunately in the new location the machine is much less ventilated, and I got a CPU overheat instead (Straight computer shutoff, no bluescreen). Believing that the memory management error was resolved being out of the hot room, I reverted the CPU voltage setting back to normal, knowing that could help cause overheating.

I am now getting the memory management errors again.

I copmletely give up on this problem, it has now been nearly 8 months of a computer that I cannot get to work reliably.

Can someone tell me, with the issues described above, which parts on my computer need to be replaced to eliminate the error? Ram? Cpu? Motherboard?

Or any other suggestions would be great as well.

Thanks - Defeated computer user
 


Let me know if replacing the hardware fixes your problem. I'm about to replace my RAM in the next couple of weeks. I have just reinstalled windows about a couple weeks ago. It was fine for a couple of weeks, then I get the same 0x1a_41790 memory management error. It's completely random, either browsing the web, computer sitting idle. Has never happened during a game.
 


I tried using memtest to see if my ram was the culprit. Didn't catch a single error after countless/multiple tests. I replaced the ram, fixed everything. No more corrupt downloads, windows starts up without problems, and no more bluescreens (so far after about 2 months - I was usually getting bluescreens 1 a week). Memtest doesn't catch everything it seems like.
