Hey everyone! I'm facing some frustrating BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) issues that happen completely at random while I'm gaming, particularly with Oblivion Remastered and modded Minecraft. They're not frequent but definitely annoying! I've gathered some dump files that might help diagnose the problem. I'm wondering if these BSODs are related to my RAM or if it could be something else. Any insights would be appreciated!

You've got a couple of dump files, which isn't a lot, but they are suggesting a potential memory issue, which can be tricky. This doesn’t always mean your RAM is faulty; it could also point to issues with storage as Windows can sometimes confuse the two. I suggest testing your RAM by running your machine with one stick at a time. If one stick causes crashes and the other doesn’t, then you’ve likely found the culprit. Keep in mind, memory testers don’t always catch faults in newer RAM.
It sounds like you definitely need those dump files for a clearer analysis of your BSODs. When you can, boot into Windows or Safe Mode and check the 'C:WindowsMinidump' folder for any crash logs. Try uploading these to a quick file-sharing site like catbox.moe or mediafire.com, because Reddit tends to block certain file hosts. Having multiple dump files will really help in identifying the issue. Also, if you haven’t already, consider following a guide to ensure the correct dump settings are enabled—make sure to set it to Small Memory Dump for more reliable data.
