I have tried over and over again with multiple installations of Windows 10, Got new Ram, Different Mobo's, tried different Hard Drives/SSD's, different PSU's, Different GPU's, and have downloaded all the Drivers time and time again. I have also attempted multiple different types of troubleshooting with changing speed, timings, voltage with the ram, Loads of different Commands that give me ZERO errors / tells me nothing is wrong. 
I can surf the web and watch videos no issue and download Google Chrome + Firefox but when it comes to programs like Discord, League, Apex, Battle.net, Steam, Fortnite, any Adobe Products, etc. They always give me a Crash Report/ Bug Splat/ doesn't complete the Download and Different lines of code that end with "The memory could not be read."

I'm so lost on what to do and not sure how to have my upgraded system work for Gaming/Editing again.

Please help in any way if you think you can give me a solution to this problem. I will be checking often on this post for comments and if you want to do DM's or Call. My discord is OnlyOneJob#1999 to get in faster contact if I don't check the post 24/7 but will show a good amount of Photos / examples of what I get when I attempt to download anything. Any questions / advice I will happily answer and take anything to make this System work.

CPU: i7 8700k - MOBO: Asus TUF H390 Pro Gaming LGA 1151 - RAM: Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 2x8GB
SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 500GB - GPU: 1080 Ti Nvidia 6GB - PSU: Corsair RM850x - OS: Windows 10 Home

Case: NZXT H500 ATX Mid Tower - CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i v2

Make a bootable USB stick or CD/DVD with memtest86 and run it for a few hours to test your RAM.


Stick to the standard (advertised) voltages and frequencies for the RAM.

 

You may have installed something by default , like antivirus or firewall or something that normally didn't cause you troubles in the past, but with Windows 10 periodically updating itself, it wouldn't be uncommon for a software that previously worked perfectly to cause problems

Antivirus software was known to crash or be incompatible with previous Windows updates.

I will try this right now but just super unlucky cuz I went out and bought an official Windows stick so I would have one and I have had 3-4 different types of RAM and they all have failed me unfortunately but going to give this "memetest86" a go to see what I get. Will update! ^-^ Thanks

There's two versions

 

memtest86+ : https://www.memtest.org/#downiso

the version maintained by passmark (free and pro/paid versions) : https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm

 

Either one would work.  You don't need a fancy usb stick, I think even an ancient 512 MB - 1 GB one would work, the program is less than 100 KB

 

If you do get memory errors, don't assume your memory stick(s) are bad. It could the BIOS uses some defaults that your memory sticks just don't like and motherboard and cpu aren't happy running your sticks at 3200 Mhz.

Start by installing just ONE memory stick in a slot, run test again... repeat with the next stick or sticks. If only one fails then maybe that stick is bad.

Then, I would go and lower the frequency to 3000 Mhz and test again... then if you have time, I'd also test at 2667 Mhz.

A bad memory stick will fail at any frequency... so you'll know it's unlikely to be motherboard

 

May be worth also testing the same memory stick in another slot ( on the other memory channel) just in case the slot is physically problematic, or maybe you have a bad pin on the cpu or socket which could cause errors with that particular memory channel

So I have done and tried everything you have said will drop some screenshots. Currently as of now nothing has changed but that I am getting blue screens more often now :/ The third photo was true Read/Write so I could test and maybe give more insight on my RAM no sure if helpful.

Well, it was not for nothing. At the very least you now know it's not the memory (RAM) that's causing problems.

 

You can now start ruling out other things (bad drivers, bad components, bad programs running on your computer, and so on).

That's good to hear that the RAM is just fine ^-^ but where else do I start now? I'm not sure what else to tackle as in replacing or knowing what to replace. Any Suggestions?
