Title: Blue Screen: "Memory Management"
Post by: Naweo on Sun, 23 April 2023, 15:00:16
I tried to clean reinstall my PC but it continues to get blue screen due to stop code: "Memory Management."

Is there a special resason for this?

I did a memory test in the windows memory diagnostic tool, it said "Harware problems were detected" ater 4% completed test.

I will try to reseat the ram... Otherwise... New ram?

How many DIMMs do you have populated on your AM5 build?

64 Corsair Vengeance ram on Asrock Steel Legend MB using 10700k Processor, its a 3 year old build.

That still doesn't say how many dimms you're using.

2 is always more stable than 4, especially in this case..
Apparently this board is known for the VRMs running hot and the 10700k is known for memory problems (using 4 dimms is asking for problems on this). Some people have had better luck with XMP, some have had to turn it off and apparently low latency ram has more problems. I've used 4 dimms many times in the past, I could always get them to work but they've pretty much always been more trouble.

I'm not an expert at this but, I would also check memory timings in the BIOS.
Perhaps try a safer setting at first, to see if that makes a difference.

10th and 11th gen were ok on populating 4 DIMMs, 12th & 13th Gen along with AM5 have issues running the XMP/AMD Timings on 4 DIMM's populated.
But yeah saying you have 64GB's says nothing to me as that could be 2x32GB, 4x16GB, or a single 64GB DIMM. . The speed rating on your DDR4 above 2400 is technically an Overclock - so if you have a bad memory controller, board, or stick of memory you will learn about it either quickly or overtime. 
Last time you asked for help was with an AM5 based system but now you're back to a Intel 1200 system (10th/11th Gen CPU's).

Quad dimms have always been touchy, some gens are better than others but it's always been less consistent than 2 dimms.

9th gen Intel was pretty much just a lazy refresh but since then they've been playing fast and loose trying to keep up with AMD. 10th had timing issues (only made worse with 4 dimms) and things still aren't back to the stability of 9th gen and earlier and probably never will be.

PCs are becoming less and less stable, it's been an open secret for a while now and while normally competition is a good thing the end of Moore's Law and trace size limits puts manufacturers in a bind as this is very possibly the last major PC refresh most people will get before a major architecture shift pulls them in a different direction. As such, everyone wants that last piece of the pie and they'll do whatever it takes to get it.

There is also the trace design some board makers have been using are not helping with the Memory clock stability - Buildzoid covered it a couple years ago - some are just daisy chaining traces (not the proper term but I haven't fully woken up) that in standard Dual channel w/ two dimms populated is fine but anything past is a roll of the dice.
