My laptop started crashing with BSOD 3 or more years ago. It had some strange problems, and different error codes. and i couldnt identify it because my computer knowledge wasnt that good. That still happens, i fully reinstalled Windows like 6 times and this BSOD happens every time, even after i reistalled Windows. After some time, my laptop started running slowly, and when i enter it, it takes some time to load. And new recent Windows Updates are not installing, because of some errors saying that "files are corrupted" (0x007002) and something like that. I guess it all started because of Updates. I need your help to fix that so this wont annoy me ever again (Note: my friends say that Roblox is crashing some apps some how and drivers are crashing too because of it.)

    Hi Danii,,

    Did you ever run the MemTest86 4 pass scan to check your RAM?

    Hi, so as i can identify it, my laptop has RAM included in the motherboard, and so errors can be in this RAM, maybe its a bit broken or something. So the question is that should i go to pc store to repair it? (BSOD still appears tho, maybe it is because of it)

    Hi Danii,

    Those dump files just list generic RAM corruption, nothing specific is listed.

    I will be logging off now for the night, it is very late here, I will be back first thing in the morning to check this thread to see how you are getting on.
