Random BSOD Crashes

[eblkxchaos]

As the title states I seem to get BSOD crashes at random intervals on my computer. It could be while my PC is Idleing or amist an intense firefight in PUBG. Some days my computer works flawlessly and others makes me want to throw it out the window. I also crash fairly regularly on the PC games I play (No BSOD just "Game X has stopped working" which include BF1, Arma 3, and PUBG. BF1 being the most frequent. I've tried reinstalling windows multiple times and I also have driver booster pro to make sure my drivers are up to date yet i still crash which leads me to believe its a hardware issue.

My specs are as follows:
CPU: Intel i7 5820k @ 3.3ghz with Corsair H100i v2 cooler
Mobo: Asus Sabertooth X99 (Bios v3101)
Ram: Corsair Vengence LPX DDR4 2666 4x8
Storage: Mushkin Reactor 1TB SSD
GPU: EVGA GTX 970
PSU: Refurbished RM 650w 80+ Gold
Case: Fractal Design R4
OS: Windows 10 64bit
My computer has been crashing for as long as I can remember since i got it around a year ago, and i've been postponing actually finding the root of the problem as it seems overwehlming considering how much is going wrong with it...
Here is a Link to my google drive with all the minidump files i have and also a resource moniter report.

Thank you in advance.

These days, a BSOD indicates a hardware failure.

You first off, need to check the ram with something like MemTest.

If that passes, then run a CPU Stress test, and leave it overnight running.

I'll look through the min dumps in a minute

Get a picture of the BSOD, or from event viewer (right-click Start button, Event Viewer, look for the latest event under "Critical", copy all the info).

That's the easiest way to troubleshoot, much faster than reading the minidump files. 

 

Most likely it is related to the graphics driver (there's not much else that regularly causes BSODs anymore), or another driver (possibly storage or chipset). If you can, uninstall everything Nvidia and AMD, and get the latest driver here: https://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/123936

Don't use other software to update your graphics driver, it's best to do it yourself. That way you know exactly what you're getting and can roll back if ever needed, also means less background processes.

On the last dump check I just read, it gives "large memory corruption"

I'd lean towards the RAM being bad, at least one stick. MemTest x86 will tell you for certain.

I'll look at other check files in a moment

JUst dug through 4 different crash dumps, they all point to massive memory corruption, one while playing a game, one while in chrome, one while visiting www.apple.com (you sick man, get some help) and one where it was just idle.

I'm gonna lean on bad ram....

Here's one that I actually had earlier today that resulted in my Computer crashing with the clock_watchdog_timeout BSOD

This is a good read and provides useful links to the software I mentioned

Thanks, I'll take a look at it and also go through troubleshooting my ram sticks once I home from work later tonight. Hopefully I can figure out whats causing the problems
