I have been having an occasional bsod while playing games, specifically fortnite. It never happens while I'm just watching YouTube or browsing the web. I recently did a fresh install of windows 10 too. Not keeping any files on my os drive. I store movies and steam games on my hdd. Os is on ssd. I ran Memtest86 and got 1 error the first time and 0 the next 3 tests. Could it be a memory issue?

I7 6700k not overclocked
2 gtx 980s with sli disabled.
16gb ddr4 evga ram
Asus z170 pro gaming mobo
Samsung 850 Evo as os drive

Could tell me the error code when the "Blue Screen of Death" occured. Ex: 0x00000065 MEMORY1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED
Try updating your graphics card drivers, make sure they are compatible with your current OS
Do another memory test and check if you have faulty RAM or run memtest on each RAM stick individually.

I haven't kept track of all of them. It seems like it has been a different one every time. The latest one was system service exception. That was the first time I had gotten this particular one. Another was irql-not-less-or-equal not less or equal. Another had the word kernel in it.
