    Here is what I am getting.

    On Fri 1/13/2012 8:41:34 PM GMT your computer crashed
    crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\011312-10280-01.dmp
    This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x7CC40)
    Bugcheck code: 0x1A (0x41790, 0xFFFFFA800182E920, 0xFFFF, 0x0)
    Error: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
    file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
    product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
    company: Microsoft Corporation
    description: NT Kernel & System

    Bug check description: This indicates that a severe memory management error occurred.
    This might be a case of memory corruption. More often memory corruption happens because of software errors in buggy drivers, not because of faulty RAM modules.
    The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver which cannot be identified at this time.

    Is this from a bad RAM module or something else?

    Have you installed any new software, driver updates or windows updates in the past few days?

    If so, try running System Restore back to a point a few days before the BSOD popped up. If this solved the issue, reload the software/drivers/updates one at a time until you discover the culprit - System Restore to the point before you installed it and block it from installing again.

    Hope this helps. :)

    One of the updates for patch Tuesday is a kernel update.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms12-001
    Try uninstalling that update, if you have a version of windows affected and see what happens.
