Vista: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT Blue Screen Crash
You upgraded to Vista and are all excited about all the new cool features, like: Dreamscene (preview), Sidebar, Flip 3D, Translucent Windows and yes, snappier, quicker loading programs, etc.
What is that, you say? Quicker loading programs? But why? Why? Well... because of SuperFetch.
While SuperFetch will or at least should make your life... easier, it will put a lot more strain on your hardware; more specifically, your system's memory. As a result, all your enjoyment could come to a (temporary) halt by a dreaded blue screen crash...
So if you've gotten some of those crashes lately with Vista, and particularly those that give a MEMORY_MANAGEMENT error message, wait before you decide to change out memory sticks. They may still be good but just a bit overwhelmed by all the new requirements... and need a little more juice to keep them working properly.
To fix the blue screen crash problem, you may try the following: go into the BIOS and see if you can adjust the memory voltage manually. If you can, increase it by 0.05v. Save and reboot and see if the crashes still happen.
If they still do, you may try to increase by another 0.05v, but proceed with care. Increasing voltage will also increase the operating temperature of your memory sticks which can possibly lead to them burning if you don't monitor their temperature.
Needless to say, playing with the voltage supplied to the different parts of your computer is fairly hardcore for some, so do this at your own risk. Other than that, enjoy...
If you've tried to increase voltage by up to 0.1v and the crashes continue, you really may have a memory problem.. or a temperature problem... or a driver problem. Try to cool those sticks off first or ultimately try different sticks; or wait for driver updates. Good luck.
UPDATE 09/30/2007: This memory management blue screen in vista may also be caused by overclocked memory. So check your BIOS settings and make sure your memory is running at its default speed. If it is overclocked, either bump it down a notch and then see if you still get the blue screen, or to isolate the problem quicker, run it at its default speed.
Some motherboards allow you to asynchronously overclock your processor and memory. That means that you may run the cpu at one frequency and the memory at another. In my case, i discovered that while having my cpu overclocked and the memory at its default speed, the memory was still running at the processor's overclocked speed. I believe that was the cause of the memory management blue screen errors. Running the cpu at its default settings, caused the memory to also run at the default settings, solving the memory management blue screen crashes. For those interested, this issue occurred on a Asus A8N-SLI motherboard.

I've been having this exact problem, but it doesn't seem like my bios supports a voltage increase. Vista memory test indicates memory problem. Any ideas? Thanks!
Hi there.. thanks for your comment. I tracked down my crash problems in Vista to an overclocking issue. While I had my cpu slightly overclocked, I was under the impression i had set the memory settings in the BIOS so that the memory will run at its default speeds. After further investigation, using CPU-Z, i realized that either the BIOS or Vista did not seem to care for the fact that i did not want the memory overclocked; the memory was running at the same bus speed as the cpu, causing it to overheat and possibly give errors.
I therefore fixed my crashing problems and the blue screens by going back to default speeds for the processor and memory.
Vista Memory testing did not give any errors for me. If you do get errors when using Vista's Memory Diagnostic, then you should definitely try to swap memory sticks and see if that solves your problems.
If you're in any way overclocked, try default speeds and see if that helps.
Finally, as i mentioned in my original post, check the temperature of the sticks. This was my first indication that the crashes were memory related. My computer case has a couple of sensors that i can place anywhere inside and monitor the temps which is very useful.
Good luck and post back here in case you figure it out.
My system configuration is
INTEL DG33 BOARD
2 GB TRANSCEND RAM
250 GB SEGATE HDD
2.4 Ghz CORE 2 DUO PROCESSOR
I tried to install WINDOWS 2000 PROF, i got this following error.
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
BAD_POOL_CALLER
If this is the first time you're seen this stop error screen,restart your computer.If this screen appears again,follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.If this is a new installation,ask your hardware or software
manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.
If problems continue,disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software.Disable BIOS memory Options such as caching or
shadowing.If you need to use safe Mode to remove or DISABLE components,restart your computer,press F8 to select Advanced startup optoms,and then select safe Mode.
Technical information:
***STOP:OxOOOOOOc2(OXOOOOOO99,...)
if i tried to install vista, i found "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" Error.
Please tell me the settings which i have to change,
thanks,
siva
I found my memory management error to be due to bad memory sticks.
I would recommend trying to swap your memory sticks for some other ones and see if you get the same errors.
It could also be an incompatibility between the memory you have and the motherboard, so if you do swap other sticks in, they should be a brand other than you have right now.
