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?

    ImageHi, so this scan just got stopped because of too many errors how it says, so i dont know what to do now. I am just doing in again, maybe it will show me everything normally.

    Changed: it stopped again "due to too many errors"

    Hi Danii,

    Thank you for the screenshots, your RAM is the underlying issue and your RAM needs to be replaced.
