I use Windows 10, although I upgraded from Windows 7, not a clean install. I just got 16 GB of RAM, I'm very positive that it is not defective, I've tested it as well and even sent it for RMA, yet I get blue screens pretty much every day since upgrading my RAM. I had 8 GB before this, and now that I try to use 16 problems occur. I don't think it's the mother board either, since I have tried all RAM slots with 8 GB of ram, and then it's completely fine.
So since it SEEMS like all of the hardware is ok, I'm wondering if it's something in Windows causing it. The problem with installing a fresh copy of it is that I have 1TB worth of stuff (including work) on my hard drive and I don't have a separate one so I'd have to upload the most important things which would take quite some time, so if I don't have to do it, I don't want to.
So my question is, before I go and install a fresh copy of Windows, could Windows even be responsible for the crashes or is it my hardware?
