Daily BSOD for 6 months

Hi. Looking to pin point whether it's a driver issue or hardware. So far, I've done the basic memory diagnostic tool for both RAM pieces seperately and they've come fine. I will do an overnight one tonight unless told otherwise if someone checks my dump files before I go to sleep. I have downloaded the manufacturer's SSD software and the smart tests show...

I can usually use the PC for a good number of hours before it "randomly" BSODs although I have had to re-install Windows at some stage (usually within 1-2 months) as stuff keeps breaking (most recent was winload.efi missing or corrupt error)

Try to change the clock and timing of RAM, combine with XMP profiles in the BIOS or, as a last resort, change the RAM to another

Now that you mention it, I failed to mention that I downclocked it / turned off XMP a few months back hoping it'd fix things but it didn't. Should I skip to replacing the RAM then?

The logs displayed corruption of the MFT or drive file system.

1) Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
2) sfc /scannow
3) dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
4) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
5) sfc /scannow
6) wmic recoveros set autoreboot = false
7) wmic recoveros set DebugInfoType = 7
8) bcdedit /enum {badmemory}

9) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread

10) Make sure that there is no over clocking while troubleshooting

11) In the left lower corner search type: system or system control > open system control panel > on the left pane click advanced system settings

a) > on the advanced tab under startup and recovery > click settings > post an image of the startup and recovery window into the thread

b) > on the advanced tab under performance > click on settings > on the performance options window > click on the advanced tab > under virtual memory > click on change > post an image of the virtual memory window into the thread

12) Create a new restore point:

13) Indicate whether Windows fast startup is currently on or off
If it is on turn it off:

14) Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
chkdsk /r /v
This may take hours to run so plan to run overnight.
Run on all drives using the syntax: chkdsk /r /v C: or chkdsk /r /v D: changing the drive letter to the applicable drive.

C:\Windows\system32>chkdsk /r /v
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

Type: Y
reboot

Also commenting on 14) I copied pasted the command in and rebooted but it just runs a normal scan and fix? I think it took 15~ mins tops and just fixed 5 sectors. Was expecting it to take much longer. PC rebooted and gave a winload.efi error. It rebooted and then it started up fine?

Attachment 256641Can you confirm even with this result I still need to replace my SSD?

There were multiple problems displayed on SMART.
Please replace the drive.
The long generic is a pass/fail.
The SMART is used to predict failure.
Drives before they fail can have performance problems.
For example: chkdsk corruption, BSOD, boot problems, etc.

Make sure important files are backed up.
