Blue screens of death?

[nubkiller666]

Basically I got a custom built computer a few years back, and it's been either just not turning on ever again or getting blue screens. Lately it's been getting blue screens, and I'm at wits end wanting to give up on technology.

What I've done so far:

Before I've had cooling issues, replaced the cooling box and fixed that.
I've had a weird issue where the motherboard or something just wasn't responding, I kept taking out a stick of ram and replacing it each time this happened.
A week or two ago the computer just wouldn't turn on, so I told my brother to wipe the OS.
It worked, it turned on again and everything seemed to work. Didn't get the issue for mabye a week or two, atleast a couple of days. Now I'm getting blue screens again, it seems to be atleast once a day like clockwork. I just closed out of Chivalry: medieval warfare, and mabye a minute or two later, blue screen.
We just now added another harddrive so it can't be that.

We've probably gone through like 6 motherboards, so it can't be that, I know it's AMD, but this many motherboards can't be faulty.

Any advice?

Have you scanned for viruses, I know you have a new HDD but can help. Also it sounds like it could be faulty RAM, put one stick of ram in each slot and boot up, do this will all your RAM, this will determine RAM failure or the RAM slot failure, what are your CPU and GPU temps?

what are your system specs, please include psu...what does the bsod say?

working on getting the bsod code. Going to be waiting for the next day or so to take a picture of it

Well in the mean time try the RAM test that I suggested, this may fix your BSOD.

not really a tech guy, how would I go about doing the ram test..? I heard there is a software for it to scan it

Well a scan won't be really good if you get a BSOD all the time.

Step one: Remove all your RAM

Step two: Insert one stick of RAM and boot up, if you crash then move to step 3.

Step three: Insert the same stick of RAM in the other RAM slot, if you still crash then go back to step one and do the same with the other stick of RAM.

Step 5: If you still crash after doing the above then it's not a RAM issue.

its called memtest you can run that but the bsod screenshot will give us a pretty good idea whats going on and where to start looking the top 3 bsod causes are windows itself harddrive and memory. there are also other reasons but these are the most common. also look at the capacitors on your motherboard and see if any are blown... you can google "blown motherboard capacitor" and go to images and then just look on your mobo for any bulged, leaking or blown caps. it tends to happen with high temps and could cause all kinds of issues
