Hi all,
Been lurking around the web for answers and haven't had much luck so here i am.
I've been getting a BSOD the past few days and I've just done a clean install of windows 8.1 64x. The BSOD occurs during the times of high ram usage as to what i have observed, so i am leaning towards bad ram. I have just reformatted my windows on a SSD. I know this does not matter since its a SSD, its just FYI as you might see a lot of missing startup programs, etc. Previous windows was also on SSD. BSOD did happen before i reformatted.
I have ran windows memory diagnostics and error did return saying that i have an hardware error (ram).
However, at the same time i'm not sure if replacing the ram will solve my problem. This is because I think I'm missing/ using drivers that are too old causing the BSOD.
Please kindly help and guide me on the matter
-On a side note, do you guys mind telling what other drivers I need to update/ require?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: On a second thought, the "display driver stopped responding and has recovered" message has poped up 2-3 times in the past few hours. Maybe its just a driver issue or both RAM and driver issue.
I'll let your expertise go to work haha
