MemTest86

Hello... I recently did a clean install of Windows 10.

I've gotten a couple of BSOD occurrences.

The most recent was a IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. The previous one was different, but I don't recall the error message.

Please let me know what you think.

Thank you...

The dump indicates memory_corruption which may be defective RAM or a driver passing bad data.

You have a ATI Radeon HD 3450 whos driver is dated 1/13/2015 12:00:00 AM. There is no Windows 10 driver for this card.

Try testing your RAM, see if that is the problem:

RAM:

Follow this tutorial: MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 blog

Information


MemTest86+is a diagnostic tool designed to test Random Access Memory (RAM) for faults. MemTest86+ will verify that:

• RAM will accept and keep random patterns of data sent to it
• There are no errors when different parts of memory try to interact
• There are no conflicts between memory addresses

Memtest86+runs from bootable media to isolate the RAM from the system, no other components are taken into account during the test.

Warning
MemTest86+needs to run for at least 8 passesto be anywhere near conclusive, anything less will not give a complete analysis of the RAM.

If you are asked to run MemTest86+by a windowssh blog member make sure you run the full 8 passes for conclusive results. If you run less than 8 passes you will be asked to run it again.

Note
MemTest86+has been known to discover errors in RAM in later passes than the eighth pass. This is for information only; if you feel there is a definite problem with the RAM and 8 passes have shown no errors feel free to continue for longer.

Running 8 passes of MemTest86+is a long and drawn out exercise and the more RAM you have the longer it will take. It's recommended to run MemTest86+just before you go to bed and leave it overnight.

Thanks Rich...

Here's a photo of the findings.

 

Well, that's definitely a defetive memory module (DIMM) for sure.

See the Results & Extended Testingsection of the tutorial for info on how to determine what is defective.
I would remove half the memory then run memtest86+ again. If it fails the DIMM that is still installed is defective. If not, swap the memory and run again.
