BSOD Help?

[RedChrono]

Hello there,

 

This is actually my first ever forum post, so bare with me. I got the parts to a Gaming PC for Christmas this past year, and it's been quite nice to me. However, lately I've been having troubles. I have gotten about 2-3 Memory Management BSODs, and just now had a Store Data Structure Corruption BSOD. I have 2x8GB DDR4-3000 RAM, and a Ryzen 7 2700x. This has all happened under very specific circumstances. I will be playing Rainbow 6 Siege on my left monitor, while having Chrome open on the other, watching YouTube. My game will occasionally crash, I'll go to watch some YouTube while I wait to see if anything changes, and then my PC will crash. I used the included Windows Memory Diagnostic just now, but it gave me no problems. So...
 

Is it just a problem of having not enough RAM to do these things at once, and also having maybe a tab or two of discord or steam in the background? Or is there something wrong with any other components of my computer? Thank you so much, stay safe!

[RedChrono]

Also please keep in mind that I'm a very novice user in computers, and as such using things such as the command prompt or another is relatively new to me, so please bare with me in this process if something like that is necessary. Thanks!

Could you give the exact name of all 4 errors? Are your drivers updated, as they come out regularly and they can cause issues? Do you have an overclock or XMP running? Overheating? Windows Memory Diagnostic isn't the greatest, you could try to memtestx86.

I have the default XMP Profiles enabled for my RAM, and I've updated all my drivers previously. All the previous errors have been Memory Management, and the one I had just maybe 30 to 40 minutes ago was a Storage Data Structure error. However, if you can tell me how, I could check Windows for a list of errors that have happened, if possible. I don't believe anything is overheating, because my PC runs relatively silent. I also was considering memtestx86, but I don't have a spare USB drive on me, at least not readily available. I'll probably end up running it tomorrow

Alright. Try mem test. If not, just google the errors. Its usually only 5 things that could cause it.

Alright, thanks. I'll be sure to do all of that tomorrow, because this only seems to happen while I'm playing R6 and have YouTube open. Now I gotta catch some Z's. Thanks!

You're welcome. That's weird it only happens in those specific circumstances, as usually chrome can just put stuff in an HDD if it needs RAM, it doesn't BSOD at full ram and you have 16gb.

Oh, and another thing I forgot to mention before I sleep, I have media controls on my keyboard, and because I keep R6 in fullscreen, I use those quite a bit to pause and un-pause the videos. Perhaps this had something to do with it? Again, thank you very much.

Check the SMART charts on the drives. Though I'm fairly certain you will likely have to replace the board

I doubt it could.

How would drives affect it?

Store data corrosion BSOD above leads me to believe the drive that is being used as cache is having issues

Ah okay.
