Hey everyone! I'm having a real nightmare with my Lenovo LOQ 2024 laptop. In the past five days, I've experienced five Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) crashes at random times while doing different tasks. The crashes seem to link back to `ntoskrnl.exe`, which some sources say isn't necessarily indicative of the actual problem. These issues began right after I upgraded my RAM from 16GB to 32GB and installed some Adobe software from m0nkrus. My laptop can run smoothly for hours but suddenly freezes and shows the blue screen. Strangely, one time it crashed while in sleep mode. I've run the Windows Memory Diagnostic, which reported no issues. I've also checked the Event Viewer and found recurring Bluetooth errors. I've tried updating my drivers and even flashed the BIOS, but nothing has worked. Disabling Bluetooth didn't help either. Most recently, I got another BSOD after several hours of use, with a new error about the Warsaw Technology service. Any advice on what might be causing this and potential fixes? I'm really at my wit's end! P.S. Here are my dump files for more context: [minidump.zip](https://www.mediafire.com/file/ws3vhr62t0tnusj/minidump.zip/file)

Given the problems started after your RAM upgrade, it's possible either the new RAM is faulty or there's a compatibility issue. Have you tried testing each RAM stick individually? That way, you can pinpoint if one of them is causing the crashes. Also, ensure nothing is overclocked as it can lead to instability.
It sounds like you're dealing with some tricky BSOD issues! First things first, have you checked your minidump files? Those can offer crucial insights into what's going wrong. You can find them in the C:WindowsMinidump folder and upload them to a site like mediafire. Multiple dump files help in analyzing the pattern better.
Should I run memtest86 on my RAM? Would that help?
