i started having bsod's while gaming, like 20 minutes in game maximum and it's done, dont know why but i didn't have afterburner installed before, so i cant know if bsod's and this graph somehow linked, all the way i've comepletely cleaned all my storages, reinstalled windows so refreshed all drivers and still had bsod's during games, in one moment somehow i started gaming and played 4-5 hours in a row w/o bsod's, once i restarted pc it's begun again, the only thing i noticed during that game there was no such chokes on a graph at all it was typically smoth
whats going on on this graph lole

What exactly did you do, please post steps.

If you can use one stick of ram and it tests fine, but the other one doesn't, you have a faulty stick.
If you get both sticks to work, but only in one slot, and not another, you have a bad slot.
It isn't just 3d applications that use the GPU. That idle graph looks like somebody was surfing the web.

Since it is reporting there is an issue with the USB system, start by checking which USB devices could be causing it. Do you have a USB soundcard? Seem to be common with those. Mouse or keyboard acting weird? Got anything else plugged to USB ports?

I had a bent pin once in my motherboard cpu socket. This caused the B side (right two) DIMM slots to be dead.

There's tons of micro circuitry and capacitors on these boards. Any number of things can be wrong. I'm glad you were able to figure it out. Not sure if you used memtest to help you discover it was bad though.

Either way, you can keep using it without the fourth slot and hope nothing else breaks, or get a new one.
