How to fix BSOD MEMORY MANAGEMENT

Question

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000001a (0x0000000000061941, 0x0000738c00d45e58, 0x000000000000000d, 0xfffffd08c8db7a40). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: a04cd213-741f-46f2-b8c3-143899583b3f.

I am fairly computer literate but this all means nothing to me. Just rebuilt my computer recently with some new parts and it crashes randomly with an error like this one. Everything seems to work fine until a crash out of nowhere.

Answer 2

Hello Jason, I’ve reviewed the dump and completed the analysis. Please see the details below.

You're dealing with a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) caused by a MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (0x0000001A) bug check — a critical error in how Windows handles RAM.

The crash was triggered by Windows detecting a severe memory corruption:

• BugCheck 0x1A (MEMORY_MANAGEMENT)
• Subtype: 0x61941 — PAGE_TABLE_RESERVED_BITS_SET
• Caused by: hardware_ram
• Process at crash: Discord.exe

This typically means that:

• Invalid or corrupted memory page table entries were accessed.
• This strongly suggests a hardware RAM issue, memory timing/voltage instability, or other low-level corruption.

Based on that, I’ll share the action plan with you

1. Test your RAM: Run MemTest86 or Windows Memory Diagnostic:

• Quick Option:
  • Press Win → type Windows Memory Diagnostic → choose "Restart now and check for problems"
• Advanced Option:
  • Download MemTest86
  • Flash to USB and boot from USB
  • Let it run at least 4 full passes (can take 1–2+ hours)
  • If any errors are found, replace or test each stick individually

2. Check for RAM Compatibility or Overclocking

• Since you recently rebuilt your PC:
• Go to your motherboard vendor site
• Look up the QVL list for supported RAM
• Ensure:
  • RAM voltage is default (e.g., 1.2V or 1.35V)
  • Frequency (e.g., 3200 MHz) matches your CPU/mobo support
• If you enabled XMP or manual overclocking:
  • Disable it for now (set to Auto/default)
  • See if system becomes stable

3. Update BIOS + Drivers with the latest version
4. Check for Software Conflicts

• In your dump, the process at the time of crash was: Discord.exe
• While this likely isn't causing the RAM corruption, you can:
• Disable Discord auto-start temporarily
• Update Discord to latest version
• Check if crash happens without Discord running
• Also consider disabling:
• Overlay tools (e.g., MSI Afterburner, Discord overlay, Steam overlay)
• Antivirus or performance tuners

Hope this helps you.
