Blue Screen twice

An end user's system has had two blue screen crashes today. They were not able to get the error codes but we are able to upload the memory dumps. The system has not had any new updates or drivers installed. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I would start by testing the memory modules.  download memtest x86 (http://www.memtest86.com/) and see if the modules are acting up.

error codes:
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT      0x0000001a      ntoskrnl.exe      ntoskrnl.exe+75bc0
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION      0x0000003b      fltmgr.sys      fltmgr.sys+5039

We just recently replaced the memory and have tested it sense and it always comes back okay.
Could be that the video card is going bad.  can you try a different one?
I would also run a chkdsk /r on the drive just to make sure the driver isn't corrupted

I updated the driver and I am going to try and get a hold of a different video card. In the meantime I will see if the new video driver solved it.
Finally, other possibility is, your boot record may have been infected by a rootkit.  The easiest solution for this is to rebuild the boot record, but also possibly run an offline virus scan on the drive that can also scan the Boot record.  Avira had a rescue CD that was pretty good, but there are some others I'm sure

I will monitor the system after the video driver update and see. Do you know if the memory dmps indicate anything that you could see?

Okay I will run chkdsk, test the new memory again and then look at Kasperski.

I will possibly try the video card next if it happens again and clean out the system.

It looks like it was the video card driver. Thanks for the help.
