Constant BSODs/Freezing suspecting faulty RAM

First of all, hello.

After reading through a lot of threads here, some were helpful, some were not related to my issue completely I decided to post my problem here. *this is my first post ever here, so please be gentle*

So,to start things off,I decided to assemble a PC (mainly gaming/streaming,etc), bought off parts and eventually built it roughly 2 weeks ago. Everything was fine for the first two days and then a BSOD struck. Now, this usually won't bother me much - mistakes in Windows happen, so w/e I just restarted. So, after the restart I decide to install League of Legends,not really thinking about the BSOD and I notice strange screen flickering in certain moments, which led me to think that I might have outdated,faulty GPU drivers.Totally not the case.BSODs start occurring quite often by now and I got kinda worried(few of the errors were driver_irql_not_less_or_equal,memory stuff and some kernel stuff, quite a lot more, but I cannot recall at this moment).I legit read through every single piece of information on the Internet, used various software to check for potential driver issues,I've reset windows over 5 times, but to no avail.

Just an hour ago I decided to try out the MemTest86+ in case any of the RAM sticks are faulty, which a lot of people connect with the frequent BSODs/freezing and even graphical issues.

I ran it for around 45 minutes and the errors hit - check screenshots.

Now, my question here is if anyone can confirm from this, if the errors above are 100% related to my RAM,so I can just replace them and get new ones, or there is a possibility that my motherboard is rigged as well?

I will also list my system specs, just in case:

Mobo - Asus ROG Strix Z270H
CPU - Intel i7-7700 3.6GHz - locked version
GPU - Asus ROG Strix GTX 1070 8G (not OC one)
RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB (2x8) 3000MHz
PSU - Corsair RM750X 750W
HDD - Western Digital 2TB 5400RPM
OS - Windows 10 64bit

If I am missing anything, let me know and thank you in advance!

I tried installing updates and drivers,did that,launched Chrome,some game and it crashed again. After the last reinstall I did not update any drivers and upon more memory usage (I believe) it crashes again. I am also starting to have issues booting it, seems like it's working,but nothing on display,which I read was connected to bad RAM. Also, I have not tried running one stick at a time,the RAM is bought as a kit and I believe I can replace it. I doubt the DIMM slots are causing any issue,but if things continue like this even on new RAM,they are next.

I am still curious if the memtest results are enough of a reason to go and replace the sticks.


 


You have two RAM sticks, did you check them both one at a time? Also try them in different slots.
