Recurring Memory_Managment BSOD

[Logan15]

Okay,
so i've had my motherboard for a year and it been fine. Yesterday i started having memory_managment blue screens 3 in total. At an attempt to fix it i have re-seated the ram and i am still currently having this issue. I have also used the memtest86 iso to diagnose the errors and lets just say it had no trouble finding thousands. I have had this ram for around 5 years its ( XMS3 DDR3 1600mhz). I have had no trouble with this before and i am just interested as to why it suddenly began blue screening i have changed nothing with my computer.

Any response is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Some memory has a lifetime guarantee. Check with the manufacturer's website. You might get a replacement. If it is part of a matched set, you have to return the entire set.

Okay, thanks for the quick response
Would you say its worth getting the same ram again or should I try a new brand?

I wouldn't hesitate to buy a name brand again. Parts fail, it is a fact of life. If you want uninterrupted use of your computer you will have to buy new. The RMA process will take a while, so even if you get replacements you will be out of service for a while. That may or may not be acceptable to you.

When you get new RAM, start by running MEMTEST for 24 hours before you ever boot your system to an OS. Time well spent IMO.

if its having that many errors popping... you might want to reinstall windows aswell; after you replace the memory.

Yes, it is possible that your memory issue has corrupted your Windows install. That is a tough call. The safe bet is a fresh install. It is such a hassle, that many won't go that far. If it was my primary computer I would be VERY conflicted ...

yes might be and issue as i use the pc very frequiently, possibly why the ram stopped working to be honest as it can be used for rendering etc.
thanks.
