Recently my PC has been showing these BSOD errors

BAD_POOL_HEADER
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE

I'm using a single 8gb ram stick

I tried removing the ext graphics card and using the onboard one
Swapping the ram slots
But the BSOD still occurs

Any ideas where the fault is?
It occurred after I installed the latest AMD driver though

Remove the AMD drivers first.

Remove the GPU use onboard.

Download Memtest86 and run it via Thumbdrive.

If there is errors on RAM then RMA it.

If there isnt then go test your HDD and SSD via HDTune or CrystalDiskInfo.

Check if it is failing. If it is then swap out.

I think you need to set XMP profile for 8GB stick...u r running at 1600MHz but latency CL6? too tight for 8GB stick!
