Hello.

I am really pissed because I had this problem when i bought my PC, and now after 2 months of waiting till third party retailer changed parts, the problem still persists.

My build:

RAM: Patriot Viper Elite DDR4 2x4GB 2400MHz 1.2V
VGA: ASUS GeForce® GTX 1060, 6GB GDDR5 (192 Bit), 2xHDMI, DVI, 2xDP
PSU: PSU Seasonic M12II-EVO520 520W 80 Plus Bronze retail
SSD: SSD Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SATA3, 540/520MBs, IOPS 97K
HDD: Internal HDD Seagate BarraCuda 3.5'' 1TB SATA3 7200RPM 64MB
MB: MSI B350M BAZOOKA AM4, 4xDDR4, mATX, m.2, DVI HDMI
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600, Hexa Core, 3.20GHz, 19MB, AM4, 65W, 14nm, BOX

What happens, is I installed my windows, updated all drivers etc. And after an hour of usage it just crashed to blue screen. Then it goes into a streak of 3-4 blue screens while trying to restart. Everytime each blue screen is different, although most of the time its Memory_Management. IN total i had over 20+ different blue screen errors. I decided to reinstall my pc, but then it starts bluescreeding while in process of installation. I tried differentiating RAM sticks and Storage units. I tried scanning chkdsk, yet nothing.

Also I have no chance to give you crash dumps because I can't access that computer at all...

Any help would be appreciated.

On a different computer, download Memtest64 and copy it to a USB flash drive or burn it to a CD/DVD. Then go into your BIOS and select the USB drive or CD drive as the first boot device and run Memtest64 for several hours (I usually recommend running on one stick of RAM at a time, but I don't know if it really matters).

If Memtest64 runs successfully with no errors, then I would suspect a software issue with Windows or some drivers. You could download a LINUX operating system and see if you still get crashes. Again, you would have to have the LINUX OS on a USB flash drive or CD/DVD.

Can you boot into Windows Safe Mode and see if the crashes persist?
