Programs randomly crashing on Windows

[JeSuisMeetic]

Hey!

 

After a few minutes/hours of using my computer, when starting some programs they would just open and "stop responding" after 1 or 2 secs, and closing. It happens for anything from games to notepad++. I also got a "Out of memory" error on chrome one time, when my RAM usage was at about 50%. I usually have to close everything I can on task manager to finally be able to open something.

I've tried a "memory diag" on Windows, which didn't find any issue.

 

System specs:

Windows 64 bits (on a SSD)

i7 4770S, GTX970, 12Gb of RAM.

 

What could be causing that kind of issue? Thanks!

 

Sorry for my quite bad english level, I'm not a native english speaker :/

My first guess would be defective ram or ram slot but lets wait for better answers.
You can test ram by using only one stick in one slot at time.

Running these commands one at time in CMD as administrator isnt bad idea either imo.
I think they wont solve this but. They are useful.
sfc /scannow
DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

Btw, looks like your english is better than mine. Nothing to worry about!

It seems like the first command detected some corrupted files and fixed them. Everything seems to work now!

Thanks for the help and the kind words, I'll go trough the RAM test if needed later
