It's a faulty ram stick, just checked on another desktop. Could this be causing the bsod crashes (with the .dmp files I uploaded)?

Ok fair enough, learning something new. So this ram stick is gone, will contact the seller.

As for the single-channel in cpuz, but isn't that correct - since I'm using 1x8gb stick it would show...

Attached cpuz screenshots. So whatever I do I definitely have to send this ram stick back correct?

Attached pic. I'll check the other diim.
So taking the above into account what do I do? Order a replacement? What do I tell the sellers? (new to pcrace).

Hmm, thought I had uninstalled Avira - will find a complete uninstaller for it because I can't see any Avira app in windows Program Uninstaller.

Btw I just started the memtest, - just some quick...

Probably wasn't Avira - I just got BSOD with same error again. I've attached my updated files (2 more crashes since the upload in the opening post).

I'll run memtest tonight and see.

Ok so done everything up till memtest, will do that overnight tonight. FYI dism failed with an error, attaching:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063](c) 2017 Microsoft Corporation. All rights...

Windows 10 Pro v1703 (15063.540)

I mean it was activated on university campus, I believe we use KMS bulk-activation or something. I didn't have to pay for the OS, my university has a contract...

Attached. FYI this was activated on uni campus.

Hi, this is actually a new desktop - I just got it 2 days ago, worked fine the first day - but then yesterday I got the BSOD irql_not_less_or_equal 3-4 times in a row, thought it was a bad Win10...
