So I am not really sure where to post this so I will just ask this here,

I've recently been experiencing a lot of BSODs and irresponsive programs. I am using a gaming build that's nearly 1 year old and I've never had problems before. I am getting a lot of error messages that seem to be related to some memory issue. In the BSODs, for example, the words "Memory_Management" appear every time and when I try to download/open a program I tend to get errors that end with ".dll". However, after testing my RAMs I came to the conclusion that they are not the problem. The errors appear whenever I start a game, or try to open programs like Steam.

I am concerned that it might be a piece of hardware that's is failing. But people told me that it might also have something to do with unproperly installed drivers.

I would like to get your vision on the case, before taking action.

Thanks in advance,

KnDpt.

Can you list your PC specs, or better yet, download piriform speccy (www.piriform.com/speccy/download) and get a screenshot of the summary page.

Testing your RAM, did you do memtest? Have you also tried using a single stick in the different DIMM slots?

Also try crystaldiskinfo to run a test on your hard drive, see if it finds any problems (http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalDiskInfo/index-e.html)

CPU: Intel i5 4670K
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 760 DirectCU II OC 2GB
PSU: XFX pro 750W
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR3. 1600MHz 8G
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H87-D3H

I did run the memtest and everything was perfectly fine and the HDD test didn't tell me anything was wrong either.
