This January my pc started crashing randomly (windows 10) with blue screens and giving me different error messages and then it would restart and work fine for the rest of the day but recently its been getting worse, my chrome keeps crashing every few hours, I get a windows notification saying that i have to scan my drive for errors. So I ran a disk check on windows on my ssd and hdd and apparently everything is fine with them. Downloaded Samsung utility it says my ssd is fine so i dont think its that. SO then I downloaded memtest86 after getting some info online and after one hour memtest I had 30.000+ errors and i dont know what to do now so any further help would be appreciated tnx.

Specs:
4690k
Maximus 7 HERO
850 evo
16 gb corsair vengeance pro 2400mhz
Hi100i GTX
 
Solution
I would use something better than chrome, it's full of bugs.

If memtest brings up errors replace the ram. If you've got more than 1 stick test them separately. So you'll know which one is faulty

How long should I run memtest on each stick?

Well I left one overnight on memtest and got 0 errors. The second one got errors after half an hour so I have taken it out. Is it possible to get a replacement or do I just have to go buy a new one? And any ideas on how this could have happened? I checked in the bios that my ram is using 1.66-67 volts and the voltage towards them is set at 1.65v , should i raise this? Tnx.
