On 5-15-19 I put in DIMMS #2 and #4 into slots #2 and #4 - I also sent the other two DIMMs for RMA and received the replacements but have NOT installed them yet
Today 6-8-19, I got my first BSOD since putting in #2 and #4
Stop Code: CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION
What failed: Ntfs.sys
MEMORY.zip file: Dropbox - MEMORY.zip - Simplify your life
Was RAM responsible here or was there another culprit? What are my next steps?
Unfortunately it does look like failing RAM but that was nearly a month without a problem. Were you using the system quite heavily during that time or did it only have light use? If your original RAM was all bought at the same time it maybe that it will all need replacing.
I would try the new RAM in slots #2 and #4 as the next step.
I was not using the system when the BSOD occurred - it was on but idle
The two remaining RAM sticks were purchased separately from different vendors many months apart (if not years)
Is there any possibility at all that the SSD is implicated or is this definitely only RAM?
OK - I will change to use only the RMA replacement RAM for further testing

New BSOD (first BSOD using only new RAM)
7 days since last BSOD
Code: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
Activity: Copying over a video file via WiFi from this PC to a Macbook (was around 75% complete). Source file on secondary HDD
MEMORY.zip: Dropbox - MEMORY.zip - Simplify your life
Update:
Chipset drivers (check in Snappy Driver Download)
Windows 10 to version 1903 (https://support.microsoft.com/pl-pl/...date-assistant)
My Chipset drivers are up-to-date - I ran the latest Intel utility to update chipset drivers and the version remained the same
The MoBo website provided old chipset drivers
I'll update to 1903 eventually, but I don't think this will solve my problem, since it has persisted through many Win 10 versions
What else should I do?!
I've been away for a few days and am just picking up some of the older threads, sorry to see that the change of RAM does not seem to have fixed your issue. Keep providing the mini-dumps when you get any new BSODs - good troubleshooting so far. There seems to be a problem with the Microsoft symbols so I was not able to get any clues from the dump.
Will keep posting minidumps - for the time being after the last BSOD, I disconnected my secondary drive (HDD) and am only running the boot drive (SSD) just to rule out this as potential hardware issue
@philc43
new BSOD
Stop Code: UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION
Occurred upon computer wake up (or monitor wake up - unsure which since monitor was off and I didn't pay attn to computer)
MEMORY.ZIP: Dropbox - MEMORY.zip - Simplify your life
Current set-up: DIMMs #5 and #6 + SSD primary drive (HDD was removed)
What are next steps?
new BSOD
Stop Code: FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE
Occurred upon browsing Chrome
MEMORY.ZIP: Dropbox - MEMORY.zip - Simplify your life
Set-up: same as previous post
Thoughts?
