Hey, i had just built my new gaming pc 3 weeks prior to any bsod or errors at all.

PC Specs:
I7 6700k
Hyper 212 evo cooler
2tb toshiba hdd
120gb sandisk ssd
Gtx 1070 ftw
Msi 270 gaming m3 mobo
2400mhz 16gb ballistix sport 8x2 ram
750watt gold supernova evga psu

The problems i first encountered was that my games got 20-40 fps on high settings at 1080p, i wiped the hdd and sdd and freshly installed windows. The problem was fixed for the moment being. A few days later i tried to run rainbow six siege and playerunkown battlegrounds but would get crashes at random points during gameplay. I decided to run memtest86 via windows and was told that my pc cannot accurately store data in ram. I tried each stick in every slot 1 by 1 and got an error wether it be error occurred while copying from xxxxxxxx to xxxxxxx or your pc cannot accurately store data in ram. I was able to boot up then but now i can sometimes get into win 10 but then crash immediately or not even get into win 10. When i try to log in to windows 10 i get the error as follows:"Special pool detected memory corruption". I tested the hdd and everything was fine, the gpu had the drivers up to date, and then came with the conclusion that it might be my ram. I have sent and gotten confirmation for an rma for both sticks of ram but have yet to send them. I tried cleaning the ram with a dollar bill (told by others) but same situation with bsod:(. I would like to know if anyone can help me by confirming it might possibly be the ram or what else it might be according to my situation.

P.S. Still cant get into windows and yes i did update bios and try to enable xmp and try with it disabled. Cpu is at stock. So was gpu.

Please help

Hello... Ya I need a change too... OK... if you have any more thoughts just type them here and I will see them in the future... G L

I feel something (APP-bad driver) installed it's self into the Boot process at this point... or OS file damage... and Fixing creating/cleaning a new BOOT record/files here... if after that it still does it... then maybe a RAM problem when trying to access different areas of the stick/chips areas.
Hello... GOOD... well done... as a "Simple fact gathering mission" type MSCONFIG in the RUN bar and see what items and APPs are trying to install during the OS boot? (as a place to start?)

1) Services: click "hide all Microsoft services" and can you post picture of that for me? (digital camera or screen shot)

2) Startup: can you post picture of that for me too?

Close MSCONFIG and go here...

3) Control Panel-Device manager... can you expand some hardware general areas and give me a IMG of that too?

4) Control Panel-Programs and features... IMG?

i cant click on it in safe mode though...
 
Hello... You will need to log in as "ADMIN"? know how to do that? B / ...like I said this can be the long way around a simple "OS refresh" or "re-compile"

5) can you go to Control panel-System and make sure your Current installed hardware (RAM) is identified correctly too?
