Memory Management Blue Screen Crash

    Hi

    Any help on this would be appreciated.

    On my Dell Dimension 3100 Windows XP SP2 I'm getting a Memory Management Blue Screen Crash. I took out the 2 sticks of ram, replaced it with 1 new (good) one. It boots up but after about 2 to 3 mins it then crashes with the same blue screen

    I'm not able to burn memtest to a CD as it crashes before i can finish it & I couldn't see any memory diagnostic tools under windows Ctrl Panel

    In Safe mode I ran a chkdsk and that was fine (probably no relevance), and in Safe mode it doesn't seem to crash

    I didn't change any settings before the crash happened (& I did a system restore and that didn't help)
    Any other suggestions before I bring it to a repair place ?

    Thanks a lot

    Slow boot up could indicate failing hard disk. Chkdsk isn't always that relyable. If you could burn the ubcd from another machine this would be a better tool to help diagnose.
    Are temperatures in the system ok?

    Yup chkdisk is useless.Anychance its a driver issue or are you sure its a memory fault also before you got a new stick of ram did you have 2 or 1 stick before it?

    Thanks for the replies guys, I finally managed to crack it tonight, Bernardamaac you were spot on, it turned out to be a driver issue, due to "Deadlock Detection in Driver Verifier Is Turned on and Norton Antivirus Is Installed"

    I followed this link , uninstalled NIS and everything's hunky dory now.
