Frequent BSODs 5-10 min after startup. Often Memory_Management ...


First time post,

I'm running a PC (HP Spectre x360) with Windows-10, and I am recently getting BSODs, 5-10 minutes after booting my PC. I've tried running various programs such as CCleaner (to remove temporary files ...), and whocrashed (quick analysis), but l couldn't find anything.

The BSODs contain various messages, most often -- but not always -- Memory management or critical process crash messages.

I forgot to add that I ran Windows memory diagnostic tool, which mentioned that I have a hardware problem, and that I send in my PC to the manufacturer (in this case, HP). Although this PC is still under warranty, I would only do that as a last resort. (Next to last resort would be a factory reset)

Please advise, and let me know if anything else is needed.

Also, how likely is it that I have an actual hardware problem, vs. some faulty driver?

Hi MichaelSmith,

Are you still in need of help?

Yeah,

I'm still getting these Memory Management BSODs. I've noticed their almost always related to browsing activity. I.e., I can run my PC on Windows-10 without seeing any BSODs, as long as I don't browse the internet.

Diagnostic Test
 RAM TEST

Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 10 blog

   Note


MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 complete passesfor conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zeroerrors 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.
If errors show up and you see them a lot later, no problem, the errors don't affect the test.






Diagnostic Test
 DRIVER VERIFIER

   Warning
Please make a backup of your important files and get your rescue media or create one.
Please create a restore point.

Please follow this tutorialto run driver verifier.

Driver verifier stresses your drivers and will crash your pc if any driver fails due to a violation.

Driver verifier should be performed for a max of 48 hours, or when you have a bluescreen, whatever comes first.

If driver verifier has found a violation and you can't get back into windows normally, try to boot into safe mode and reset in safe mode driver verifier, or in the troubleshooting options open command prompt and type verifier /reset.

   Note
Your system will act very sluggishly while driver verifier is enabled, this is normal as your drivers will be being subjected to heavy testing in order to make them crash.
