Hello Bros,
as above I need some help, I've been getting BSOD for the past 1 month,
its a little random, first it couldn't boot to OS kept BSOD. After 2 weeks of no usage, it could power up again, but ocassionally BSOD as I play CSGO. But after a few restarts I could play the game as per normal. used kombuster for stress test and theres no issue. (+ initially the nvidia driver didn't install properly but rolled back and reinstalled properly)

could it be RAM?

here's my Rig.
Phenom IIx6 Thuban 1055T 2.8GHz

yes, most likely it's due to the RAM.
Btw, how old is your RAM? Any RAM replacement before? BRAND?

Do a memtest and see how it goes.

Have you reseated your RAM modules ? If not, just try it. Sometimes, it might be RAM module contact issue that cause BSOD.

No bother testing. For me, that ram should be more than 6 years and I won't waste time doing memtest cos it takes a lot of time. Just use HD tune to check ur OS drive.

Especially if ur ssd fails it will fail completely. Unlike those mechanical hdd, even with slight bad sector u might still be able to boot into OS.
