0x0000007A BSOD

Just got this and am trying to figure out what caused it

.

I've had a look around the net and it seems it may be caused by failing RAM, can I check this with memtest?

It happened when I opened blender, so is it possible that it's a bug?

I've never gotten this message before so all help is appreciated. TIA

p.s. nothings overclocked ATM.

Can you replicate the error? That would probably narrow it down some.

Sorry I wasn't doing anything I wouldn't normally do, and I've just done the same and it's working fine :confused:

Oh and forgot to put in the OP when I turned the computer back on it asked me to insert the correct boot disk, restarted it and it booted normally but took about twice as long. Steam thought I was using a new computer afterwards :confused:

Might be an idea to grab the relevant HDD diagnostic tool for your drive and run that too.

Thanks, i'll try that. Could take a while though as i've got 3 different drives lol.

You can check the ram with memtest yeah, let it go overniight for several passes. Could also upload the minidump file
C:\Windows\Minidump
