Hey guys, on my little server I'm getting the issue of BSOD with the MEMORY_MANAGEMENT error.
I think I've ruled it out to be the motherboard as here is what I've tried:
The CPU is running at around 45 on a stock fan at about idle, gets to about 55c
Spec
Had an issue with the old RAM (failed memtest, cant remember the error now) I originally got with it and went through the RMA process but never got to sending it, had an issue IRL that I won't goto here so never sent that back and then after that I just let it sit around for months so probably would have ended up RMAing the board to but alas after I ruled out that memory I thought the problem was fixed so just left it until I needed it. Mistake!
Things I'm going to try tonight/tomorrow
Hopefully the board isn't corrupting memory.
Are there any tests I can do to stress the motherboard/make the motherboard fault?
Is it always a RAM/Motherboard problem with that BSOD error message?
I think I've ruled it out to be the motherboard as here is what I've tried:
- Two seperate harddrives with fresh installs of Win7 / Win XP (on both)
- Three graphics cards, one being onboard and the other two being 8600GT / 8400 GT
- Memtest86+ on one stick for 13 hours and for 4hours on the second.
The CPU is running at around 45 on a stock fan at about idle, gets to about 55c
Spec
- E5400 2.7Ghz
- 2GB Corsair Dominator DDR2 800mhz
- Seagate / Hitachi Harddrives (250/500 respectivly)
- P5QPL-AM Asus Board

- Run both memsticks at the same time in memtest, then if it passes, swap them over on the slot locations and try again. I read that memtest can't test the entire memory due to the bios/cpu reserving some, so swapping them over would mean potentially a different sector was used to store the bios/cpu
- Run the second stick for 8-12hours as it was only run for 4hours.
- Run the first/safe stick in the second slot for 8-12hours to rule out the slots being broken.
Hopefully the board isn't corrupting memory.
