Hi, everyone,
OVERVIEW:
I've been encountering a lot of BSODs (Blue Screens of Death) on my laptop lately, often within the first hour of usage of my laptop (and as frequently as 5 times in a row before a temporary resolution). I've been using a crash dump viewer (BlueScreenView) to identify the causes, but there's 12 different bug check strings in the last 12 days, with 10 different drivers identified across all the cases (i.e. way too much stuff for me to analyse and fix despite my attempts). Bluescreens often occur at launch, though occasionally after starting a game or loading more than 4 tabs on Chrome. I've used the "Boot Last Known Good Configuration" function in advanced startup settings to provide temporary solutions, but the issue would return within a few hours.
THINGS I'VE TRIED:
Windows disk check: Ran it 3 or 4 times, consistently no problems
Windows Memory Diagnostic: ran it once, no issues detected
Kaspersky Antivirus Scan: Complete scan done, no issues
MemTest86: FAILED (see below)
SUSPECTED ISSUES:
I strongly suspect the issue is due to a faulty RAM stick, but I've been unable to test it safely since I'm travelling a lot at the moment (being on a laptop and all, it's a bit time consuming to remove RAM sticks individually and test). Another possibility is my OS or C: drive is corrupted, but I'd be surprised considering my laptop occasionally works just fine. These suspicions are from various other posts/ solutions that highlight faulty RAM or corrupted drives as being the issue behind some of the bugs I've experienced.
DEVICE SPECIFICATIONS:
Device Manufacturer: MicroStar International (MSI)
Model: GS60 2PE Ghost Pro
Operating System: Windows 7.1 Home Premium, Service Pack 1
Processor: Intel Core i7 4710HQ (2.50-3.50 GHz)
Integrated GPU: Intel HD Graphics 4600
Dedicated GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 870M
RAM: 16GB (2x 8GB Kingston RAM at 1600MHz)
C: Drive: Toshiba THNSNJ12 128GB SSD
CRASH DUMPS:
Minidumps for the last 21 BSODs that were saved (I've probably had about 25-30 overall) are available here:

If anyone can advice me on what's causing this issue, and how I might fix it, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
