Someone's computer is showing random blue screens.
Hi there, your friend is facing some strange problems with his Windows 10 system. The blue screen appeared shortly after he installed an internal SSD for more storage. Even after taking it out, the issue persisted. The error codes shown were IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION CACHE_MANAGER MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. He attempted a full Windows reinstall, but it didn’t resolve the problem. The crashes seem unpredictable, and sometimes certain applications behave oddly before they crash. A MemTest86 run revealed over 160 errors on his machine, suggesting possible RAM issues. I’m considering the chance of faulty RAM and want to confirm this before recommending a purchase. Here’s a quick rundown of his system specs: AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT, MSI B450 Tomahawk, 32GB RAM, G.Skill f4-3200C16, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 EAGLE, 8GB memory.
It’s better to test each stick individually with memtest. Removing sticks until the PC stops blue-screening is a last resort.
Check if it boots. If yes, run tests and keep trying until you locate the issue. If not, consider replacing RAM.
