BSOD and failed Memtest86

[DarkDevil]

Hi, in the past month I got around 7-8 bsod or straight freezes of my pc.

I checked event history and WhoCrashed and the problem is always ntoskrnl.exe in the bug check details it's stated that it might be corrupted/faulty memory, so I did a full 3 hours run of memtest86, and I've got 23 errors, all of them in Test#9, i uploaded the report here https://www.dropbox.com/s/tquq7zoert...91952.pdf?dl=0 where you can see some of the pc specs as well.

What to do? Are the crashes and the errors connected? Do I fix this by changing ram? I had this setup for 4 years now without any problems, are they just dying on me?

Thanks.

Looks like the RAM is bad.

Thanks for your reply David.
Yeah, with 23 errors I guess it's bad indeed, I'll look into a new pair of sticks, do you think the bsod is caused by it? Forgot to mention the bsod errors are: KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED or DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION.
Thanks,

Bad RAM can cause all kinds of random errors, including BSOD. In fact the more random the error is, the more likely it is bad RAM.
