BSODs on new Win10 install--MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, SPECIAL_POOL_DETECTED

ApexNCSU · 19 Sep 2016

I upgraded from Win7 to Win10 recently, and began getting BSODs after about 20 minutes of being logged in. They weren't always the same, but usually were MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. I cleared my disk, reinstalled Win10, and I'm still getting the BSODs. I've turned off most of my services and drivers, but I'm still getting BSODs.

I used BlueScreenView, and most point to ntoskrnl.exe+149f90 as the Crash Address. Not a particular driver. Can you help? Thanks!

Hi ApexNCSU,

Welcome to the 10forums :)

From the looks of the Windows Error Reports and the dumps you have a hardware problem.
If you have warranty use it to get a replacement.

If you do not have warranty let me know what you want to do next:
- Get a new laptop
- Keep troubleshooting until we find the culprit with the possibility that it is replaceable.

Thanks! I did a memory test, and sure enough--bad memory. Easy fix. We'll see if that's all there is.
