    Thank you @axe0 I will give those a try.

    Are you using 2 sticks of ram to make up 16 gigs?
    Yes I am, I'll give that a try.

    You mentioned you have no other PC to access internet? How did you get the latest Windows 10?
    My computer updated itself. Still crashed a few times afterwards. Surprisingly the computer has been stable for the last day or two, even after I used it for more than an hour. I'm hesitant to say that there has been any improvement, though.

    Update: Ran Seatools and so far no issues have been made present, so I will run memtest and return with more information.

    Updates: I ran memtest86, all the way through for 8 passes. Took all day and there were no errors visible. So now I'm absolutely stumped. Should I take out one stick of RAM anyway? It seems like a waste of time especially since my RAM integrity doesn't seem to be in question.

    Still worth removing one stick (DIMM) of ram since it won't impact what you are doing. You can do what you normally do for a day or two and in not BSOD, swap ram DIMMs and continue for another day or two.

    Unlikely to show anything but worth doing just in case.

    I'll do that and let you know how it goes. I had another WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR BSOD last night after a few hours of using it, which is a new pattern that I've now noticed. It's the only error that shows up now, after I use the PC for an arbitrary amount of time.

    Did you run the V2 log collector and upload the zip?

    V2 Log Collector wouldn't run no matter what and from the zips that I uploaded it seems that my installation has somehow become corrupted, so I'm planning to back up my data and then reinstall Windows completely.

    Something to think about, you sent your computer to let others have a look at your problems, they reinstalled Windows as it appeared Windows was corrupted and the problem didn't go away. I don't want to be rude or anything, but is there something that makes you think this time Windows will not become corrupted again?

    You ran a few tests I suggested, they didn't show result, that doesn't mean there isn't more to do. As it unfortunately happens, some hardware tests are not always conclusive and the hardware itself needs to be further tested. That is what I suggest we do, continue testing.

    No idea. This computer has been on the fritz for a year straight, so at this point I'll do whatever I can.

    Could you run this command in an admin command prompt or admin powershell whenever a BSOD occurs.
    Code:
    copy %SystemRoot%\minidump\*.dmp "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\CollectedFiles"
    Recently I haven't been very active with BSOD troubleshooting, but some time ago dumps were quite frequently being deleted by Windows after a few days, I'd like to prevent the information they contain from being deleted as those dumps are important.

    What should I do if the BSOD stays at 0% forever? That's frequently the case now. I get a hardware related bluescreen where there's no progress whatsoever and no dump file is written.
