Hi guys!
I recently had a few crashes a week, mostly in some specific games (mostyly Unity).
I did a clean Windows reinstall and still had problems... So I did a memtest and found a few errors.
I changed my 16gb of RAM for 32, ran memtest with no errors.
I thought my problems were over, but ehy are not. Still getting errors, another game just crashed 3 times.
I have 2 minidump files, can you please help analysing them since this goes over the limit of my knowledge?

Thank you so much for any help you can send! :)

I would first suggest that you test your RAM. One of the dumps shows a list entry corruption (that's a structure in memory), the other fails because of a corrupted PTE (page table entry). Bad RAM must be the first suspect in this case - although it could also be a bad driver, we'll look at that if your RAM looks good.
  1. Download Memtest86 (free), use the imageUSB.exe tool extracted from the download to make a bootable USB drive containing Memtest86 (1GB is plenty big enough). Do this on a different PC if you can, because you can't fully trust yours at the moment.
  2. Then boot that USB drive on your PC, Memtest86 will start running as soon as it boots.
  3. If no errors have been found after the four iterations of the 13 different tests that the free version does, then restart Memtest86, and do another four iterations. Even a single bit error is a failure.
Note that this can't prove that your RAM is good but it will find most RAM problems.

Let us know how that goes.

Hi ubuysa! Thank for your reply!
I did run memtest; "I changed my 16gb of RAM for 32, ran memtest with no errors."
Since memtest ran with no error, it would mean it's a driver error? Or is it the PSU? I would find it strange to be a PSU error?! Thanks again for your help !!!
EDIT: I didNt, run it for 4 passes, I'll do it and let you know. Thanks so much.
EDIT 2: I did run it for 4 passes an no errors :/
