So for the past 2 weeks, I've been getting a ridiculous amount of blue screens, a lot of them are to do with the ntoskrnl.exe. I have tried everything, re installing windows on my SSD and not having my HDD attached (and the other way around), detaching my graphics card, running only one stick of RAM in each port. I've tried almost every possible hardware configuration. I am almost certain that it is a software/ driver problem. I don't know what it is you need me to post, but if anyone knows more than I do. Please help

Here is the latest blue screen error:

SPECIAL_POOL_DETECTED_MEMORY_CORRUPTION

Hello... All my experience with BSOD is due to a Hardware communication, interrupting between the MB and Windows.
1) Make sure you have no un-happy hardware drivers in your "Device Manager"... No Yellow or Red icon indicators
2) Clean all card/stick edges with rubbing alcohol... And Re-insert cards.
3) Inspect and clean all DATA and Power connections... to your Hardware and MB.
4) Verify all devices CPU/GPU/MB temperatures are with in Normal operating temperatures.
5) Verify your Power Supply 12Vdc has enough current , To operate your Video Card and CPU, at the Performance setting you are using.
6) Test One Part at a time in a known Good Computer.

Yeah, I just ran a check and my RAM passed all of them. However I have been told by a lot of people that this is the most likely problem. do you reckon it's worth buying new RAM?

Sounds silly, but I hadn't thought to test my RAM in another computer. Just tested it and it made the other PC blue screen before it had even fully booted. Guess it's time for some new RAM!
