Hi everyone. Getting lots of BSOD lately. I have zipped and uploaded some minidumps in hopes that someone here can read them and help me find the source. Im ready to go buy new RAM and just try it at this point. First I will post links to the mini dumps and then I'll paste what I wrote on a subreddit about my issues (got no replies). Thank you soo much in advance.

----------------------------- Below is my post from a subreddit that I haven't had any replies yet-----------
Morning all! My pc got a bsod about a month ago, it rebooted and worked fine so I didn't think anything of it. Then it happened again maybe a week later. (For reference, I game heavily for long sessions on my days off 3-4 days a week).
About a week ago it started happening more often, maybe once or twice a day, usually an hour or two into playing a game. Finally, yesterday, it happened several times in one day.
My friend and I began troubleshooting. The errors were random and the most included errors were:
IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL (this one probably the most often) KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED
The most common driver that failed in these errors was Ntoskrnl.exe. My pc is currently running a MemTest so I can check which other drivers it said failed yesterday when it's finished but that one was 80% the culprit. Sadly, from my endless research yesterday I've learned that that driver is a master driver that can fail when something else fails so it's hard to figure out what the problem is.
We ran chkdsk, /scannow, right clicked on every single driver in my pc device manager and made sure they are all up to date. I cleaned all the dust out of my pc.
3 days ago I did a "reset" of windows but kept my personal files. Error sill happened once or twice a day. Yesterday, my friend recommended I do a complete reinstall from media USB, so I did. The BSODs started coming every 5 mins to an hour shortly after that.
We finally decided it could be my RAM. I have two 8gb sticks. I removed one stick and tried playing overwatch (the usual game I play when it crashes) and tested playing on each stick of ram. The game would still crash within 30-60 mins. Sometimes right away.
I have no idea what else to do. I'm pretty bummed out. I can't figure out the root of the problem. I'm currently running a MemTest but when it's finished I can do whatever anyone would like to help them help me.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I ran MemTest for multiple passes for several hours with no errors
