I keep getting bluescreen errors.... today, two happened within the same 30 mins...
its quite an annoyance. i can't think what it could be or what is causing it, as its completely random, but i think it might be RAM. Below is an entire WinDbg report....

I would expect this to either be an issue with your RAM, or on the motherboard.

In my personal experience with the BSoD I have noticed that a majority of the time the problem is caused by blown capacitors on the motherboard. The capacitors either start to expand or even burst and bubble over, due to thermal events. Take a look inside that case to see if you have any of these symptoms!

No, i always have the door off, as my aftermarket cooler doesnt fit (when i bought the cpu, the seller gave aftermarket cooler). im getting new case. None of these symptoms apply. thank you.

Nope. It's a fairly new build too, i built it around a year ago. it is no gaming motherboard, was only 50 pounds, but yes, no blown capacitors, which are the ones that look like mini batteries?
