Hey all, I've recently come across a multitude of BSODS with my system with stop codes ranging from memory related issues to driver related issues and general stuff as well. Over the last 2 days I've sorted out the driver related issues with a fresh install of Win 10 with clean fresh drivers for all my hardware. But I have kinda reached a brick wall with the memory related BSODS. It seemed at first to be faulty ram, so I ran each of my ddr4 ram sticks individually in dimm slot 2 through memtest86 fully, then with both of them in dimm slots 2 and 4 fully. Memtest did not find any errors in all of those tests. Oddly enough, when using only 1 stick of ram (either of them) in dimm 2, windows runs perfectly fine.
Now I've been reading a bit online and it seems that this issue could still be ram related, or it could be fault of a bent pin in the cpu or a failing motherboard. My question to you all is, which option should I start looking into (and if possible how) since my replacement thermal paste isn't coming till the 17th, I can't diagnose the bent pin till then really, as this is my main PC for school and such.
Thanks for reading this wall of text written from frustration!
All the best,
Tony.
