I think i have a RAM problem

[Drazyra]

I have been experiencing some blue screen recently, to know what caused the issue i did the usual check ups : sfc /scannow, DISM, checking for outdated drivers and no problem on sight.

 

I then decided to check if it was from the ram and i performed the windows ram diagnostic, it said ram had a problem so i decided to dig a bit and ran Memtest 86 and here are the results.  

 

I'm getting the ram changed this friday but do you think the issue could be something else ?

No it's pretty obviously your RAM, hence the big FAIL in your memtest.

No matter what you're going to need new RAM.

At least once i have the new ram i will know if it was the ram or not, but if it's not the ram what could cause the issue ?

the memory test failed, thus the memory is the issue

Yup, your RAM is faulty for sure. 

You could always try individual RAM sticks. Maybe not all have faulty memory. 
Oh and also, try lowering MHz or increase the timings. This could be your CPU not being able to handle the high memory speeds.

That's perfect! 

If you unfortunately should experience the same problem again, try lowering the speeds and/or increase timings on your RAM. 
It's not common, but your CPU might not be able to handle the speeds and timings of your RAM kit.

they should always be in slots 2 and 4. that might solve all your issues.

got my new ram and ran memtest 86 again, 0 error, so yeah the problem was indeed the ram
