I was building a PC for my sister and had forgotten to order RAM (and only realised this when constructing the PC), so I decided I would build it today anyway and just use the RAM from my PC to set everything up as I can just slot in her RAM when it comes easily. She has a same motherboard as me and her computer booted up successfully and I was able to set it all up. I then added the RAM back into my PC with no issues (other than the usual stubbornnes of RAM) and my PC boot up fine. It wasn't until I was playing Overwatch that my game just started crashing several times and when playing modded minecraft (which uses quite a lot of RAM) I got the BSOD. There were no performance issues so I suspected it was memory and ran a PC benchmark which didn't reveal anything to me. I then ran the Windows Diagnostic Tool which said that I had a memory problem and a fix online said to use driver verifier, which just resulted in my PC getting the BSOD repeatedly (booted into safe mode and deleted settings for verifier). Using advice on this forum I ran the SysnativeBSODCollectionApp and i attempted to collect data with the performance monitor but it would just get stuck "Collecting data for 60 seconds". Hopefully my RAM isn't physically broken, thanks for reading.
