I've had my computer built for about 4/5 months now. From the start it has always had a few problems, as it was my first build ever. However, in the past 2-3 months it will constantly crash. I believe this is due to bad RAM, but I want to be entirely sure before I go out and buy new RAM. Here are the two crash errors I get mainly.
memory_management
page_fault_in_nonpaged_area
Keep in mind, these crashes are not once a day. They are more like once every 20 minutes to 2 hours. It has gotten so frustrating to the point where I stopped using it in general until I can fix it.
Extra Info - Other programs constantly crash, such as google chrome (aw snap, something went wrong...), and minecraft often crashes as well.
Things I've tried - Removing one stick of ram (temporarily worked.) Switching the slot I put the RAM in (temporarily worked as well.)
If you can give me any advice as to what the problem is, it will be greatly appreciated.
Yup, like fm said, run memtest. If you get errors try moving the ram to a different slot on the mobo and check it again because it's also possible there are issues with one or more of the ram slots on the mobo.
Yea, apply for an RMA. There should be information on the website of the manufacturer for your mobo if it is the case that you have defective ram slots.
If your ram is defective then check the websites for that and once again, apply for an RMA. It should be okay provided you're within warranty.

Do one stick of RAM at a time.
