A little update. I've found out, that HDD isn't the reason for BSOD by disconnecting it for a whole day, but BSOD still occurred. Then I've tried driver verifier and when it crashed, it showed, that amdxata.sys driver is crashing my pc. As far as I know it's AMD's driver and since, I've changed my gpu from AMD RX480 to Nvidia GTX1080 about a year ago, for some reason problem occurred just now. Can I somehow disable or remove that driver since I don't really need AMD drivers, to "fix" the BSOD problem?

But overall, should I change my 4.5 years HDD?

I had the same thought about removing one of the RAM sticks (although they are about one month old), but BSOD happens very unexpectedly, sometimes two days in a row and no BSOD, and sometimes (like yesterday) there were 4 BSODs, so it would be hard to tell if there is or there isn't a problem with RAM. Tbh I can't really leave that idea, that my HDD is causing all this, because of all pc components, viruses and even drivers, it's the only thing, that was misbehaving in the last few months. But on the other hand, I could be totally wrong about that.

I've tried these kind of solutions, but from the experience, nothing seemed to help. And I don't really think it could, because almost every time BSOD strikes, I get different error message.

Hello, about two months ago, I started getting various BSOD and almost every time they were different. And they occur almost every day, sometimes even 2-3 times a day (like today). I've tried many fixes and various solutions like memtest86, chkdsk, sfc /scannow, including reinstalling windows, but nothing seems to help. Almost at the same time (around the start of February) I've updated windows and my first BSOD happened. It could've have been a big coincidence as far as I know, because nobody experienced such viscous BSOD streak like I have. Around the time of January and February my (now 4.5 years) HDD Seagate barracuda 3tb (secondary drive) started to make a real nasty noise (like brushing rusty nail through metal) and it lasted about a week and suddenly stopped. I've used CrystalDiskInfo to check SMART and it showed current reallocated sector count 100 and worst 100 too. Buying new one isn't a big deal, but I would like to know if these problems with BSOD and HDD are connected. So my main question is, what could cause these BSOD and is it "necessary" to change HDD into a new one?

Btw, I'm using 8gb(2x4) of ram, should I upgrade those to 16gb in the near future (for example with CPU) or it's enough for now?

In the following year, if I'll choose to upgrade, would 6700 or 7700 be good options, or you do have something else in mind?

Mainly playing AAA singleplayers like The Witcher 3, Borderlands 3, RDR2, etc.

Hello, I'm currently using i5 6600(non k) with RX 480 and after 2 years I'm thinking about upgrading my gpu. Had a lot to choose from and I'm thinking about the GTX 1080. Other choice was GTX 1070, but here in my country the price difference between these used GPU's is pretty small, only about 45USD. One of the most troubling thing about upgrading was the CPU bottleneck. I've read a lot of forums about this and similar duos and opinions are very different. Some say it doesn't bottleneck at all, some, that it's even worse after upgrading to higher end GPU like 1080, doesn't matter if the game they are playing is more GPU or CPU demanding. And btw, I don't really have money to upgrade GPU and CPU at the same time. So my questions are, what's your opinion about this duo and is it worth upgrading into this GPU? I would like to play in stable 1080p 60hz, but if it would work I'd like to push the resolution up to 1440p.
