Windows 8 / 8.1 Memory Problems

This might be an oldie but it's not something that I thought could happen to me.

So slightly related to the last post, after fixing the Immersive Shell DCOM issue, my computer BSODed once more, but this time with slightly different error code "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT", which prompted me to think this might be a hardware issue.

Finally came across this - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows7/diagnosing-memory-problems-on-your-computer and true enough, one of my 2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance C9 1600 DIMM units is faulty. Got it replaced with PLE and fingers cross hopefully no more BSODs!
