BSOD errors with MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

[Allan Williams]

Hi, I recently upgraded two newer laptops from 8.1 to 10.

One of the laptops is unusable at this point. Every hour or so I get a BSOD indicating a MEMORY_MANAGEMENT error. :angry:

I had no issues with this laptop running Win 8.1.

Two questions:

1. What is the best approach to troubleshoot this?
2 Is it possible to revert back to Win 8.1?

Edit: I see that it is possible to roll back to 8.1, but first I'd like to see if i can resolve the issues with Win 10...

Thanks. This is very frustrating...

If there's a crash dump you could potentially open it up in windebug and find out the root cause. If you weren't having issues on 8.1 it's probably a driver issue as your hardware hasn't changed.

Hi, There are three ".dmp" files in c:\windows\minidump from today. Can you please tell me more about "windebug"? Thanks.

I downloaded WhoCrashed. Here is the report:

This might be a case of memory corruption. More often memory corruption happens because of software errors in buggy drivers, not because of faulty RAM modules.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

It's gotta be a driver issue since never received this error in Win 8.1. How in the heck do I determine which driver(s) are causing the issue?

Here is some additional information - sure appears to be driver related - problem is how to determine which driver(s) are the root cause...
