    BSOD Playing WOW, IRQL_LESS_OR_EQUAL error


    I've updated some sound drivers which I thought might have been the issue. Uninstalled a few things. But it keeps happening. Let me know what you guys think. Thank you in advance.

    Three BSODs last day.
    Code:
    BugCheck A, {0, 2, 0, fffff8026292b6fb}
    
    Probably caused by : memory_corruption ( nt!MiGatherMappedPages+d3 )
    
    Followup:     MachineOwner
    ---------
    Code:
    BugCheck 4E, {99, 678ea, 5, 0}
    
    Probably caused by : ntkrnlmp.exe ( nt! ?? ::FNODOBFM::`string'+1f759 )
    
    Followup:     MachineOwner

    Code:
    BugCheck 133, {1, 1e00, 0, 0}
    
    Probably caused by : ntkrnlmp.exe ( nt! ?? ::FNODOBFM::`string'+18ee7 )

    Out of them three, two are giving some hints of storage issue. Those might be external storage devices but be cautious.

    Make it sure that your SSD is having the latest firmware installed. The SSD Toolbox may help you in it.
    Test the HDD for possible issues.
    Moreover, as the versatility of the bugchecks and their patterns are giving a notion of memory corruption, Test your RAM modules for possible errors. Run memtest86+ for at least 8 consecutive passes.

    If it start showing errors/red lines, stop testing. A single error is enough to determine that something is going bad there.
    Take a camera snap of the memtest86+ window before closing the program. Let us see it.

    Ran the memtest first. Red line after about five minutes running. Attachment 90097

    Bad news, in the sense that it pointed to a hardware issue. Good news, in the sense that the issue is discovered.

    Now you need to follow the Part Three: Results & Extended Testing. It will let you know the originating source of the memory error.

    Found the culprit. Bad memory stick. Luckily it was only one of the two 8GB sticks. I will have to replace it. Thank you Arc for the time analyzing.
