Alright, so I'm having a consistent BSOD issue. I installed Windows 7 onto the M.2 SSD by installing Win7 on a regular harddrive and cloning it over to the SSD. The first two BSODs was when it was still installed onto the regular HDD (WD Blue 1tb). After the clone I'm just getting more and more constant BSODs. They tend to happen at random but I can consistently get it to BSOD if I try to run the game Modern Warfare 2, but the error code isn't consistent. The 2 newest dump files are of me attempting to run Modern Warfare 2.

Blue screen viewer says that 5 out of the 7 BSODs I've had so far come from the ntoskrnl.exe driver with a more specific address of ntoskrnl.exe+a44a0. I googled this issue and most of the replies claim to be bad memory, so I ran memtest.

I have ran a memtest86 for 3 passes and got 0 errors, so I can probably rule that out, but tonight I will run memtest while I sleep and am at work, so that'll be atleast 16 hours of runtime.

Dump files attached.

Thanks in advance.

I will run the 14-18 hour memtest tonight and see if RAM shows and errors.

Even if it doesn't I'll try your tip tomorrow when I get home. I'll let you know the results tomorrow.

Thank you for the tip.

So wait, you edited your post to only mention the RAM driver. Should I just update the RAM drivers then?
