Lately I've been having an issue where my computer will either straight crash and restart (no freezing) or give me a BSOD. This only happens when streaming videos (e.g. twitch or youtube are the most common culprits) and not when gaming or browsing or anything else. I have received a few different BSOD errors. The ones I recall are:

IRQL not less or equal
Page fault in non paged area
bad pool caller

I have tried to update my graphics driver and removed a substantial amount of dust from my case but to no avail. If anyone has any thoughts or advice I would greatly appreciate it, this has become quite a nuisance.
 
You need to tell us some more informations about your Bluescreens (e.g. Bugcheck code, the driver who caused it).

First try to test each stick of RAM individually for atleast 2 hours with memtest86: http://www.memtest86.com/download.htm (if one stick is starting to show errors than that's it)

Then try sfc /scannow and chkdsk /r and /f from cmd ran as administrator.
You can download this to read your S.M.A.R.T information about your HDD : http://crystalmark.info/download/index-e.html (this shows you if your HDD is bad).

Also try to clean up your computer from malware threats :

Try all these steps and report back!
 


I got one BSOD yesterday when I ran sfc /scannow and left for the day so I don't know what the error was but this is the info I got when I booted back up:

C:\Users\Myname\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-23048726-0.sysdata.xml

Other than that, no errors using memtest (I let it run its standard config when it started, not sure if that is what you suggested but I wasn't sure what to do), nothing from sfc /scannow and I cleaned up a few PUPs using malwarebytes. I will try the chkdsk's too. Hopefully this can help narrow down the problem.
 
Firstly go to Computer>Properties>On the advanced tab click on Settings at Startup and Recovery>Uncheck automatically restart.
Then click on the Windows button and search for "verifier" then check create custom settings and hit next , check all the boxes except low resource simulation and hit next and then check the "select drivers from a list" option and unselect all the microsoft drivers and restart your computer.After the restart Windows will check all your drivers and you should get a lot of Bluescreens.

Now your computer won't restart when you get the BSOD and you will be able to read the driver who caused the Bluescreen.you can take a photo and upload it here.
After that you must disable Driver Verifier , so type again verifier in the search box and check the "delete existing settings" and then restart.
 
Select or unselect all the windows drivers? As I was going through those steps and got to that part, all the windows drivers (as well as the rest) were already unselected. Then when I restarted nothing happened. Also I just had the crash happen again and a bunch of colored lines appeared across the screen (as they usually do) but this time it was frozen and did not go to a BSOD as it normally would. This is the first time that has happened. So I was unable to get a picture or any information. Is this due to having changed the automatic restart option?
 
I have still had nothing happen when using verifier. None of the drivers in the list are selected so I select one at random that isn't a windows one and restart. It continues to restart normally when I do that.

For the first time in a while I got a blue screen after the freeze and colored lines though. This is the blue screen that came along with it.
