Recently I've been getting the odd bluescreen firstly it was pfn_list_corrupt I reinstalled and updated pretty much every driver on my pc and it seemingly solved the issue but now I'm getting memory management blue screens, they don't appear often but enough for one reboot per day usually while/right after gaming but also had it once when attempting playback of a web based video.

I have ran memtest86 and had 40 fails on test 5 the memory in question is ocuk value ram bought a few years back and its running at 533mhz 6cl 7 trcd 7 trp 24 tras 58 trfc 2T 1.8v per cpu-z.

So how would people recomend attempting to troubleshoot this, should I test each stick seperately? or would you recomend first trying increasing the voltage? and how can I accertain if its definately the memory thats at fault rather than the cpu/motherboard/psu?

Should mention I havn't changed anything in the BIOS or installed anything new etc that could be causing this system has been running fine for a good few years with no problems.

Cheers :)
 
Well spent this afternoon testing with single sticks of ram and different slots etc and it seems one stick is on its way out :(

The dilema is now do I replace the RAM or wait untill september (student loan) and upgrade the whole thing.
