Perform the in place upgrade repair first.
Then overnight perform the chkdsk /r /v.
The RAM modules are mismatched.
Approximately when was the second module added?
There were BSOD earlier this year 6/18/2018.
Was the misbehaving driver identified at that time?
After the in place upgrade repair and chkdsk perform these steps:
1) Make a backup image using Macrium

2) Save the backup image to another drive
3) Make a brand new restore point
