0xa = driver attempted to access pageable memory when IRQL too high or attempted to access bad memory
Only 1 BSOD was 0xa; there were two others = 0x3b (0xc0000005,,,)
Bugcheck 0xa does not mean RAM failure 100% of the time. If you state that 0xa is always RAM issue, then you must state that 0xd1 is always RAM as well as the two bugchecks are very similar in nature. Driver Verifier can be of help for 0xa, 0xd1, 0x3b, .... many others.
Much cheaper to run Driver Verifier and see if it flags a driver before spending $$$ to replace RAM.
There is no way whatsoever to determine from a mini kernel memory dump that RAM itself is the absolute cause of ANY BSOD.
There could be underlying other unknown hardware issues affecting RAMs ability to properly hold kernel code such as PSU, mobo, etc... not to mention driver issues as well.
Happy Holidays !
