I've been getting BSODs on a pretty frequent basis on my PC running Windows 10, usually about one a day, but sometimes several over the course of the day (I use my computer just about all day long). Today I got three blue screens in the course of about 20 minutes, so I figured it was about time I made some sort of post to get some help diagnosing what the hell is wrong with it.
I've been creating a list of the stop codes I've been getting, which include:
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (most common one, it seems)
KERNEL_AUTO_BOOST_LOCK_ACQUISITION_WITH_RAISED_IRQL
KERNEL_MODE_HEAP_CORRUPTION
ATTEMPTED_TO_WRITE_READONLY_MEMORY
DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER
probably a lot more that I've forgotten to write down
I've googled each of the stop codes and most of them just say to update drivers/BIOS, or that it's a RAM issue. I updated every driver on my PC, made sure my BIOS was updated to the latest version, still blue screens. I ran memtest86 with the RAM that I was using and it gave me some errors, so naturally I was lead to believe that the problem was with the RAM. I bought new RAM (listed below) and now I'm getting what seems like more blue screens than before. I'm absolutely clueless as to what the problem is at this point, and it's seriously making me upset. I'm willing to add any additional information I need to for this to get solved, because I'm willing to bet this isn't enough information for a full diagnosis. Any pointers or ideas as to what the issue might be would be immensely helpful, though. Also, apologies if this post is a bit unorganized or not up to par, I'm not much of a forum guru.
