    Hello,

    I recently built a new computer and have encountered errors from square one. I have been experiencing Memory Management BSOD's at a high frequency. Due to this, I ran memtest overnight, but I recieved no errors. So the next thing i did was I reformated and reinstalled Win 7. However, the memory management BSOD's continued on. Does this mean that my motherboard is to blame?


    Here are my PC specs:
    AMD Phenom II x4 955
    ASRock 770 EXTREME3 AM3 Motherboard
    A-DATA Gaming Series 4GB DDR3 1600 Ram
    MSI Radeon 5830 Twin Frozr II Video Card
    Rosewill RV2-700 700W Power Supply

    Update: Ran Memtest, Harddrive Drive Diagnostics, Ran Driver Verifier

    I would try running the computer with a single stick of RAM at a time to test each one just to be sure its not RAM instead of buying a new system board right away. Make sure you try them in the different ram slots as well to see if its a certain stick of RAM or a slot on the motherboard. You can also check the page file and make sure its big enough. I think microsoft recommends you want it at least 1.5 times the amount of ram you have for the page file size.
