I have had my computer for about three years, I think.
A few days ago I started getting bluescreens, the first couple with random codes (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and another one that I don't remember). Then I got the same MEMORY_MANAGEMENT in ntoskrnl.exe three times in a row. Unfortunately, the first minidumps disappeared. A couple of updates were installed on 03/14, just before the blue screens started (I think. Not sure at 100%). One is KB4088776 and the other one is a flash update, KB4088785.
I have updated the GPU drivers and successfully passed the Windows memory diagnostics.
MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 complete passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.
Make a photo of the result and post it.
Addition:
If errors show up you can stop the test, remove all sticks but 1 and test this single stick in each slot for 8 passes or until errors show, switch sticks and repeat.
The passes are taking more time than I expected. I have had to log into windowsa few times. The first time it made nearly two passes (only one complete), the second time it made two passes, and this last time it has been three passes in about 11 hours (pic attached). Please, take my word for this. I will make a few more passes through the weekend, but I don't think I will be able to make eight passes in a row.
We do not think the results are valid unless a full 8 passes are completed in one go. What I would suggest is to work with just one stick at a time overnight.
I will have another look at the crash dumps in case I can spot anything else. I suggest you try the beta log collector which is provided at the end of the BSOD posting instructions and post some new files. It might provide a bit more data for us to work on.
Would you be so kind to explain why the results would be invalid if I perform 8 passes in multiple batches?

Thank you! But wait, I have detected that I had some drivers that needed updating.
I think I will update them and test the system for a few days. If I got another BSOD I will use the beta collector with the updated drivers and post here the info. In the meanwhile, I will try to find a moment to make that 8-pass in a go.
Is that OK?
All sounds a good approach. We insist on the 8 passes which have to be completed as a continuous process so that the RAM is given a thorough test under extended operating conditions. In some cases we have seen errors turn up only after 9 or more passes but that is a rare case.
It failed in the first 8 passes combined. I can't see how performing the eight passes in one go can help in the general case (in some special cases sure it can).
I've had multiple BSOD's over the past month or so. I've updated all drivers and still had a BSOD today. I've tried using WinDBG but am not smart enough to use it properly. Any assistance would be appreciated.
I have had periodic BSODs on this PC, perhaps every 30 days. Usually irql_not_less_or_equal
This is a new cause.
I have tested the memory previously with no errors reported.
I have (hopefully) attached the report below.
Thanks for any...
First BSOD after a while of running fine. This is a new build PC with a clean install of Windows 10. It crashed a lot after installation, then settled down.
Today, I'm running a download installer for 9.5GBytes of graphics applications and data....
Hello, first timer here.
Long story short, after i updated to windows 10 from 8.1 i started experiencing some randomly BSODs.
So i downloaded the ISO and made a clean install.Immidiatelly after my newly formated pc i installed Avast,mozilla and...
Background:
I did a fresh install of Windows 10 on a newly formatted ssd about 3 weeks ago. Everything seemed to run fine until about a week ago when I first got this BSOD. Over the past few days I have been getting it basically every day.
