Question MEMORY_MANAGEMENT BSODs every week or so, and ntoskrnl seems to pop up frequently ?

[hibach1]

About every 1 or 2 weeks or so, while I use my computer, occasionally there would be random crashes of applications and they suddenly close with no warning. And in about 5 minutes after, a BSOD would pop up and my system fails. The code was always regarding MEMORY_MANAGEMENT or the other is something connected to the ntkrnlmp.exe or ntoskrnl.exe (the latter I'm not sure what caused it.). I am not quite sure how to debug this, or determine which of my RAMs have failed. Is there any possibilities on how to check this? Or maybe it is caused by something else other than the RAM? And what could possibly have caused the nt module failures?

My PC Specifications:

CPU: Intel Core i5-13500
CPU cooler: Thermalright Assassin X 120 SE ARGB White
Motherboard: GIGABYTE B760M DS3H AX DDR4 (BIOS Version: F20)
Ram: 2x8GB Adata XPG Spectrix DDR4 3200MHz + 16GB Apacer DDR4 3200MHz
SSD/HDD: PNY CS2241 1TB + Adata XPG Gammix S70 Blade 1TB
GPU: Gainward Ghost NVIDIA RTX 2060 Super 8GB
PSU: Adata XPG Pylon 650W 80+Bronze
Chassis: Montech Air 100 White ARGB
OS: Windows 11
Monitor: GIGABYTE G24F 2 + Lenovo L24i-40

These are some of the dump files that I've saved:
- nt module: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xtJc2pKEZfQhRDmmaHNPhOV6nkGIV3Jz/view?usp=drive_link
- memory_management : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sot4TCq6Bq1YMHFAp9ZlFRdkjrdMiKdR/view?usp=sharing

I know that preferably I shouldn't mix these 2 ram kits, but the past few days I have ran memtest86+ for every stick and it indicated that my RAMs are indeed fine with each passing 8 times. Also, I'm not sure if this is notable, but the 16GBx1 RAM stick actually had indicated errors for a bit but I believe it was because I put the stick in the wrong slot at first (I put it in the A1 Slot of the motherboard, which the BIOS also suggested that the placement should be in A2.) Here's the image from that error:

But afterwards I stopped the test and switched the RAM to the A2 slot and everything went well, 8 passes with 0 errors. So for the next step, what other troubleshooting methods should I try to find the problem here? Do you think I have a faulty motherboard, or maybe even the CPU? I did read that PRIME95 can be used to stress test the CPU to find out but I'm not sure.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Work with one kit of ram instead of mixing and matching and see if stability returns to your platform.

I am not quite sure how to debug this, or determine which of my RAMs have failed. Is there any possibilities on how to check this?
You can work with one stick of ram at a time across each of your motherboard's ram slots until you come to the conclusion that you have the culprit. You could also drop your ram kit(without mixing and matching) onto another known working motherboard and see if the issue persists. Likewise, drop another known working ram kit onto your platform(borrowed from a friend or neighbor) and see if the issue persists. If it does, it could be your integrated memory controller(which effectively means your CPU) might be at fault here.

Seeing how you're on an Intel 13th Gen processor, I think you've got the dreaded manufacturing defect on your sample. You would need to drop the processor onto another motherboard and see if the issue persists.

Yes, troubleshooting isn't about pointing a finger and hoping you caught the culprit but rather a tedious process of elimination.

Hmm okay, I'm not quite sure if I could test on other motherboards as quickly as the issue doesn't present itself often (about once a week or two, but sometimes could be twice a week.) If the RAM sticks manage to pass 8 times on Memtest86+ on my motherboard, do you think it already eliminates them from being faulty?

Also, I am not really well-versed with how motherboards work, so do you think the one error case image shown in my initial post due to an incorrect slot (I believe the preferred slots to use for a RAM kit is A2 and B2, but in that image it was in the A1 slot) is an indicator of my motherboard being faulty OR is it just to be expected because you aren’t meant to put one single RAM on that slot? (When I booted my PC with the RAM in the A1 slot, it instantly gave a BSOD with error code PFN_LIST_CORRUPT)

Thanks again!
