Identifying BSOD Related to Memory Management
Identifying BSOD Related to Memory Management
Hello
I have been experiencing blue screens for the past few months that are becoming more and more common. During this period I have replaced my RAM as well, but the errors are occurring before and after the RAM replacement.
The most common blue screen error is memory_management. memtest86 and Windows memory diagnostics have not shown any errors. Other crashes I have updated my BIOS and done an in place reinstallation of Windows without much success. I have also used Seatools to check my hard drive and found no issues. I have also used SFC and chkdsk which repaired a few files but the issue persists. The issue mostly occurs when I am playing a game or streaming /recording via OBS, although in one instance I was just watching a video on Firefox.
I have kept an eye on the temperature as well but it the crash happens even at normal operating temperatures.
CPU: i7-8700K
RAM: 32 (16x2) GB 3600MHz (previous one was 8x2GB at 3200MHz)
GPU: GTX 1080
Motherboard: Prime z370-p
I ran driver verifier and this is my latest dump from the crash.

Any help would be appreciated
PSU: Corsair RM750x 80+ Gold, 750 Watts. Beginner for building (10/2017)
Used it frequently for gaming, usually not at peak settings or newest titles. Recent issues occurred with Jigsaw puzzle dreams, Bayonetta, and Darksiders Warmastered.
HDD: 2TB Seagate SATA-III 6Gb/s 7200rpm. st2000dm005-2cw102. Available space: 311 GB
SSD: Crucial CT500MX200SSD3 MX200 500GB. Available space: 351 GB. (connected via mSATA to M2 adapter)
I reviewed the reliability history and found limited details there. Regarding the event viewer, I haven’t noticed a specific trend, though I’ve seen many "An error was detected on device during a paging operation" events. I attempted to install a large game, which crashed with a Kernel_data_inpage_error after performance dropped significantly. This wasn’t the first time I experienced that BSOD. During a restart, Windows checked and repaired the SSD. It’s possible this could be the cause despite all the troubleshooting. Unfortunately, I don’t have another PSU, but I can obtain one and return it if it’s no longer needed.
And now the system crashed due to a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, installing the same game again. Windows is trying to repair the SSD once more. Edit: when starting Windows, no text appeared—only icons were visible—and I had to restart for text to appear. Also observed that the CPU temperature rose extremely high before the crash (around 100°C).
The dump you shared suggests a potential issue with the system drive...
Rich (BB code):
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (1a)
Any adjustments to parameter 1 should be checked separately.
Arguments:
Arg1: 000000000000003f,
An in-page operation encountered a CRC error.
. Parameter 2 holds the pagefile offset. Parameter 3 stores the page CRC value.
Parameter 4 contains the expected CRC value.
Arg2: 0000000000046d07
Arg3: 0000000000000003
Arg4: 000000004a1b00f7
.....
FURTHER NOTES: Memory manager identified corruption in a pagefile page during an in-page operation. The information read from storage does not align with the original data written.
This points to corruption likely caused by the storage stack or hardware.
.....
Memory manager has found one instance of a corrupted pagefile page while handling in-page tasks.
I recommend inspecting your system drive, as this seems to be a paging file error. You can download Crucial Storage Executive Tool to view drive status and health, and consider updating firmware or drivers if needed.
If everything appears fine, set Windows to disable the paging file, reboot, and then enable 'automatic page file for all drives' to regenerate the pagefile.
I didn't mention before that I tried to move the paging file to the HDD, but the issue continued.
I updated the SSD firmware myself since the storage executive couldn't do it.
I also followed your advice about the pagefile. It restarted and set the pagefile to the HDD. I'll keep checking to see if the problem remains and adjust as needed.
No event 51 appears in the event viewer yet, and I managed to install the same game that previously failed.
Thanks for your suggestions.
