If you do read all of this and provide some help I will be soo thankful, my day was poop because of this.
DISCLAIMER: I have windows 8.1, I do not update it because every time I try to update it just fails and reverts to an older version.
Ok before all of this my pc had a tendency to freeze whenever I watch a stream on twitch.tv. It still freezes from time to time (rarely) but the freezing is super consistent when I go on twitch. Anyways I was watching the cs go major on my pc and it froze again, so when I restart my computer it got from bad to almost broken. It started off as a black screen (1st restart), then I tried to refresh my computer (It was stuck on the part where they download my apps...), then I got fed up and tried to reset my pc (there was a lot of errors so it just wouldn't let me). Eventually I got really frustrated, so I insert my old windows 8.1 install disc and I'm not sure if this was a big mistake or not, but I deleted everything I had in my ssd and hdd (I DID THIS IN THE INSTALLATION MENU). After a few tries of trying to reinstall windows 8.1 (because I hopefully wiped everything that I had earlier) I finally got it to work, because I did some research and managed to fix some of the errors that stopped me from reinstalling. After the fresh install, there is nothing remaining in my hdd and just an OS in my ssd, so I downloaded all my stuff and everything was fine until my pc started crashing. Not just in game but crashing everywhere. I'm kinda exaggerating as I'm not crashing right now, but anyways I would start having BSOD. What makes this really hard is that I CANNOT access the windows home button or the charm side bar. I tried to reset the window explorer thing ( a trick people on the internet said to do) but it still remains unresponsive. I think the reason I have BSOD is because my RAM is faulty. One common error message I get is MEMORY MANAGEMENT ERROR. So I boot up Memtest86 and this is the result (i took photos)

*also I only ran memtest86 for 2.5 hours so I might not give a lot of information.
Anyways so that is all I can really say, I guess in the end I want to know if I need to replace my ram (or maybe another part) AND I want to know how to regain the home button function.
*sorry to ask so much but did I screw up when I deleted everything in my ssd and hdd when trying to reinstall windows?
TL;DR My computer freezes when watching twitch.tv streams. Sh*t goes down and I tried to do a fresh reinstall of windows 8.1, failed a few times, when I finally got it down, BSOD and home button not working anymore, maybe I need to replace RAM?
