Question BSOD, System reverts all changes prior to restart, failing drive?

[Zedia]

Hey everyone. Just recently I have started having trouble with my computer. It is an i5 4460, 1050ti, 240gb ssd and 1tb hdd. I was playing GTA and it gave me a blue screen saying memory_managment. One of the online guides said to reinstall GPU drivers, and when I opened Geforce Experience, it gave me the error code: "error code 0x0003". I've gotten this many times before, and have managed to fix it each time, but this time when I try to uninstall it and restart, all my changes go back to what they were. I installed CCleaner to fix registry issues, and when I restart it is magically gone. Not installed anywhere. It is a relatively fresh install of Windows onto the new ssd, and I recently installed 4 RGB fans that connect using sata. I also installed SpeedFan. I have as much information as you need but please try to help if you can. Thanks everyone.

Have you tried running DDU and seeing if that fixes your issues?

 

Also run memtest86 and see if your RAM is fine.

I will try both. Thank you!

Alright, so I downloaded DDU and did the highly recommended option (not in safe mode) and it restarted after it finished- which reverted all the changes and left me with not even the program installed. Should I try in safe mode? After that, I looked at memtest86. Do I need to boot from the program off a USB stick? Thanks.

Always run in safe mode!

 

and yes, you need to boot memtest from external media

I followed a guide online and tried to boot into safe mode using DDU and it showed restarting, only for it to restart the whole computer, once again setting me back to a version where my settings are reverted. Although, this time I installed DDU on the HDD and it stayed. So whatever is happening is isolated to the ssd.

I also tried booting into safe mode without using DDU, and by multiple ways (shift+restart, msconfig) and when it reaches the screen that shows Restart (in order to enter safe mode) it restarts the computer and puts me in the login screen.

I mean always rib in safe mode for DDU. Don't do that for regular usage. 

 

Have you ran memtest86 yet?

I don’t know what your first sentence means. I was just trying to run ddu is safe mode and couldn’t boot into safe mode. Anyways, memtest just finished after 3 hours and it says 48/48 and 0s for errors across the board. What should I try next? Do you think the SSD is the culprit? I probably still have a warranty on it.
