BSOD Hardware troubleshooting

[HotAWhatBhabiat]

I built a new PC about a month ago:

CPU
AMD Athlon(tm) X4 860K Quad Core Processor
Video Card
AMD Radeon XFX R7 370 Series (Black, Dual fan)
MB
FM2A68M-DG3+
PSU
EUGA 550w G2 Gold+
RAM
G.Skill Ripjaws X 1600DRM 2x4GB
OS
Windows 10 pro x86

The machine worked fine for a week playing some modern games. I installed an older game with low system requireents. Got a bluescreen after a couple of days when playing it, figured it was a compatibility issue. Ran the game in the appropriate compatibility mode but the BSODs got more common, sometimes the machine would just hard freeze. Then they started happening when I was browsing the internet or steam. Then they happened when idling. Then they happened before the login screen appeared. Now, I get past Bios, see Windows try to do its thing and I get a BSOD, any of the following:

WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (most common)
BAD_POOL (or something, once)
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (once, lately)
DRIVER_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL (once or twice)

Rarely I'll get through to Win10 trying to fix the problem but once I select an option (repair or just continue) it BSODs again.

I replaced the HDD with one from a working machine, thinking it was the OS or something. The exact same thing happened, it was WinXP but it still tried to load and then gave me an error and boot options.

I re-installed the operating system, a clean install wiping all my data. It ran fine for a good four hours or so before returning to the BSOD loop. Further attempts to reinstall the OS just give me BSOD.

I ran memtest86 for a full day, 8 passes and no errors.

I replaced the motherboard for a new one, no changes.

All temperatures are within comfortable working parameters.

I made a thread on another forum in case I forgot any details, the OP has some linked files to help with diagnosing the problem

Thankyou for your time and attention.

All those errors except for drivers_less_than_or_equal indicate memory/RAM problems. I know you ran RAM tests and they succeeded, but I'm only relaying what those errors mean. So basically from those errors, it looks like Windows is having trouble storing data in the RAM. So here's what I would do. You have two sticks of RAM, pop one of them out and see if it happens again. If it does happen, replace it with the one you popped out. Assuming the blue screen you got is accurate, you will find the right one.

Forgot to mention I tried that after googling the errors, didn't make a difference whichever stick I used in whichever slot. I'm stumped.

In the link you posted you said you installed a flash update. You mean updated the BIOS?

Which I doubt, since 2 posts down it shows BIOS 1.10 is on it. This is the 1st BIOS, and it hasnt been updated since 2014

You're 5 BIOS updates behind

But anyway as the link says one of the errors can be caused by overheating, overclocking or maybe a faulty CPU (one of its cores maybe damaged too)

I updated the BIOS much later than the original post thinking it would solve everything. Thanks for your help. If a new CPU doesn't do the trick I'll have to get a Gamecube or something, cheers!
