Memory management issues during BSOD can indicate software or hardware problems.
Memory management issues during BSOD can indicate software or hardware problems.
Hello, I see you're dealing with a BSOD after upgrading your RAM. After three weeks, the issue started appearing intermittently. You mentioned you have a dump file and perfmon data. The minidump shows a crash in notepad.exe with a specific stack trace. Your upload includes the dump and a link to the perfmon report. This information should help identify which RAM slot might be faulty since the crashes happen randomly. Let me know if you need further guidance.
In memory management we seldom focus on stack, except for most crash scenarios where the stack plays a key role since we already recognize it as a memory problem. What stands out here is how the arguments (Arg1-4 at the top of automatic analysis) behave. If the mention refers to page file or inpage errors, it points to storage issues. Otherwise, it likely occurred in RAM or the memory controller (CPU). You should verify this across several crashes because a memory problem might not be immediately apparent—it could have started in RAM and only become noticeable when it moved to storage or vice versa. The process doesn’t allow me to download the dump file without signing in to Google, so please attach it to your forum post instead. And if you possess more than one dump file, include all of them. If you run into any difficulties, these are the standard steps I usually recommend which should resolve the issue.
