Good day. I built this PC a month or so ago and the past week, I've been having the blue screen of death happen multiple times a day. The error I'm receiving is the memory management error, which apparently is indicative of problems with my RAM (as I understand it, though I stand to be corrected). I have tried a couple of things: first, I used the method outlined in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xd-oidwtsI; the diagnostic tool told me that I did indeed have problems with my memory; second, I used MemTest86 to attempt to diagnose this problem, however the results of the test were indecipherable for me. It found quite a few errors, I just have no idea what those errors indicate.

Does anyone have any advice as to how to proceed? Naturally, if my RAM is corrupt in some way, I'd like to have it replaced. Furthermore, I'd like to do this as soon as possible in order to maximize the chance of having it covered by warranty. Is there any sort of specific method for determining the exact nature of the problem?

Thanks in advance for any help! I really appreciate it.

Often times just re-seating the ram completely cures the problem. Just take the ram out and put it back in again. If that doesn't work, Try one stick at a time, first one then the other until you isolate the problem.
