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.)

    But the thing is that i dont know which one should i replace, the one ive recently bought (but this BSOD error started before it), or the one that was included in my motherboard. So i am in confusion now.

    Hi Danii,

    The only way to know which RAM module to replace, would be to test them individually with MemTest86.
