Pc crashing everytime i try to download/install a game

[11ZeD]

Hi
For the past month my pc has been crashing everytime i try to download or install a game. It's been getting really frustrating lately and i need to fix this as i cannot play anything or do anything without it crashing. Everytime it crashes, its a Blue screen of death (BSOD) and i search up the stop code and look for the solution but i cant. I keep getting different stop codes but the most frequent one while installing games is Memory Management. Can anyone please help or leave any suggestions.
Thanks!

For any of you asking, i have my CPU at the stock speed not overclocked and i have my ram running at its XMP Profile which sets it to 2666. I used to have my ram running at stock speed (2133) but i still had the same issue

Try to do that with just one memory stick ( 8GB ) if you have 2x8

can be a few points of failure in your rig. as posted below could be a ram issue or a memory controller issue. or power issue or hard drive that failing issue. start with memtest on a usb stick run it over night on one stick only make sure the ram is in the same slot each time. if one ram is bad it should show up on this test. from intel web page download there cpu test let it check that there not any failed part in the cpu. download hdtune check your drive heath see if there any warnings. for power check inside the bios and with hardware info set it to sensor and logging. make sure the three main power supply rails are holding.

also check to see if there any updates for your mb bios.

I didnt update my bios since i built my pc. Could that be the case?

Update your BIOS , can be some compatibility problems.

generally if it only happens during a download it will be caused by your network driver.

you would get a updated version from your motherboard vendors website.

LAN drivers updated june 2017

you could put your memory dumps from c:\windows\minidump directory onto a cloud server like
Microsoft onedrive or google docs, share the files for public access and post a link. someone can load it into the windows debugger and see what the problem is.

Thanks for your help, it turned out to be one of the ram modules were faulty
