Hello and welcome to Techspot.

3 of your minidumps crash with memory corruption.

1 crashes with pool corruption

1 crashes at ialmnt5.sys. This is your Intel graphics driver.

The probable culprit is faulty ram.

Go HERE and follow the instructions for testing your ram.

I tried testing my ram, turned out fine... what else could be the problem?

 

[howard_hopkinso]

I take it the reason you think your memory is fine, is because it has passed Memtest.

However, some faulty ram can pass Memtest.

Try a known good stick of ram.

If that doesn`t work, then I suspect that some other piece of hardware may be causing the problem.

What are you doing at the times your computer crashes?

Regards Howard
