I've been having problems with my PC shutting down shortly after starting games/ benchmarks/ etc. I read online to download WhoCrashed so I did and this is the error I received.

On Wed 6/11/2014 8:54:32 PM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: E:\Windows\Minidump\061114-19219-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x75BC0)
Bugcheck code: 0x1A (0x403, 0xFFFFF680001EB8A8, 0xF2F00001F4AF6867, 0xFFFFF680001EB9A8)
Error: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
file path: E:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that a severe memory management error occurred.
This might be a case of memory corruption. More often memory corruption happens because of software errors in buggy drivers, not because of faulty RAM modules.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

Could this mean I need to update the bios? I really don't know what else it could be.

I would like to first state that I am no computer expert but I can't believe I didn't notice this before.... I have two dual channel 4GB GSkill Ripjaws 1600 DDR3 Memory sticks and two triple channel 4GB GSkill Ripjaws 1333 DDR3 sticks (got them from a friend and they look the exact same so I didn't even bother to check). Could that be why I have the problem? I have a triple channel motherboard with an i7 930 processor.
