    np2090 vista 64bit BSOD memory_manager

    My setup:
    np2090
    160gb Seagate momentus
    4gigs PQI ddr800 ram. (was cheaper than the 667 other brand)
    Rest is stock

    Drivers:
    Video: 174.51 from laptopvideo2go
    Wireless: 11.5 from www.intel.com
    Everything else default with vista.

    I recently re-installed windows with 64bit vista so I could use my full 4gigs and I've been having random lockups and BSODs.
    In Unreal Editor the entire system locks up for no reason for a while. No error message and it returns to normal after a few minutes.
    I've had two BSODs due to memory_manager, one was while I was playing Warcraft 3 Frozen throne, the second was after rebooting windows (after the first BSOD) and while loading Firefox.
    Suggestions on fixing this? Install chipset driver?
    Would this most likely be a driver issue (since I'm using Vista's default drivers) or a vista issue (since the BSOD says the error is in memory_manager), or should I run memtest?

    Is there a memtest 64bit?

    Hi PercocetPenguin. First thing first you should install the chipset drivers. Second, I'll assume you have multiple sticks of Ram so you might try running on each stick independently to see which stick might potentially be causing the issue. Feel free to go ahead and try running MemTest86 and let it run for a while. If there are problems with the memory MemTest86 will show them to you. There is no 64bit version of MemTest as far as I'm aware. The standard version will work good enough to detect errors in the memory.

    Do you own a np2090?
    I checked Intel's website and I can't find a chipset driver for the np2090 chipset. I coudl only find graphics drivers for it.

    i think its your graphics driver.
    when i had 174.31 it randomly crashed, when booting up and playing games.

    I went to 169.25 and it was fine after that.
