So my computer has recently blue screened, after that it hasn't really been starting properly. Sometimes when I turn it on, it doesn't post ANYTHING. And sometimes it will post the BIOS options but right before windows starts to load it crashes again and restarts. I've experienced something like this with my other computer, when I took out an 8Gb stick it would continuously reboot and never post. So I had a feeling it was something to do with my memory or memory slot. So currently I've been taking out a piece of memory and putting it back.. Then it works.. I have noooo idea what it could be. Weirdest thing I've experienced.

To rule out your ram(and your ram slots) run memtes86 for at least 10 passes per stick of ram per slot on your motherboard. If any errors come up then the issue will be narrowed down to either the module or the slot on your motherboard. Start from the slot closest to your CPU socket then work your way up. Can you please pass on your full systems specs including your PSU? Did the issue crop after a ram upgrade or an update? Speaking of an update is this installation on your system that of Windows 10?
