Between the two, RAM. If HDD failed, PC wouldn't boot at all. However it might be another issue like bad drivers or windows install

Laptop, and the failure code is 

Stop:0x000000f4

In addition, When it does get pass the hexagon thing it ask to go back to recent recovery. I go into recovery and it couldnt find a recovery point

Boot up a Linux .iso from a USB and see if the same problem occurs when stressing the system. 

If it does not then try and re-install Windows and see if that helps.

I would pull up the website for Seagate's SEAtools. Even if you don't have a Seagate drive, they have instructions on how to create a bootable disc to diag your hard drive. I would also do the same for your memory using memtest just to make sure that those pieces are not at fault.

What version of Windows are you running?

Quite a few BSOD issues are resolved from removing and reseating the RAM.
