Windows crashing with various blue screen issues

Hey,

My PC has become quite unstable over the past few months and crashes frequently with BSOD's. I have a wide range of crash dump files that when I view them in windbg nothing jumps out at me (its possible i just dont know what i am looking for).

I have reinstalled windows this week however they are still happening, albeit with different error codes. Some googling has suggested it might be RAM/Hard drive related and other places say it is driver linked.

I have booted into memtest from a USB and also chkdsk and they both show no errors. My GPU drivers are up to date as well. The errors mostly happen when installing a game (or an update) and occasionally when just browsing YouTube/general browsing. I spoke to Microsoft support but they pretty much said i need to take it to the London Microsoft store 3 hours away...lol wat.

Any help here would be amazing as i am at my wits end with it. I appreciate it would be helpful to share by DMP files so ive put a few of them into a Google Drive folder here:

(if there is a better way to share then happy to do so, they are taking a while to upload)

The computer was reformatted in the last 3 days so the most recent ones might be more revealing as to the issue. Im on a i7 6700k, 16gb DDR4 RAM, Vega 64, Asus Z170 Deluxe MoBo.

Many thanks in advance.

Have you Overclocked the CPU?

Have you tried a bare bones test with one stick of RAM etc?

I think the motherboard does some sort of overclocking as when i start the PC the posting/boot screen says Overclock 07% however i cant figure out a way in the bios to turn that off.

Haven't tried a bare bones test yet, will give that a go. I assume its simply a case of just having 1 stick in slot 1 and using the PC as normal for a few days then if nothing goes wrong putting stick 2 into slot 1 and repeating the process? Will give it a go over the coming days. Will jsut uninstall/reinstall a few games to try and trigger it.

Are there any other good SSD checking tools that I can try?

If it has an overclock that needs resetting then you could try Clear CMOS by removing the battery for a few minutes then put it back in...

What I'd try is 1 stick of RAM in the correct slot, boot it up and see if any issues happen if not then add the second stick and do the same, if there isnt any errors then you know it's not RAM related
