I've got a BSOD while playing a game and while using Chrome. I also updated all of my drivers after the first BSOD today(8/31/14) then got another one later today.

Thank you for helping :)

Hi,
looks like you have some bad RAM installed and will need replacing with new sticks. As RAM is normally sold in sets it's probably not worth testing to see which actual stick it is unless you bought them individually in the first place.

Hi,
the first dump file was for memory corruption and the above can also be linked with bad RAM, bad drivers and hdd issues.

If after making the above changes you still get the bsod then you need to test your RAM.
Windows does have it's own memory testing app but it can often miss errors and the best app for the job is Memtest86. The latest version of which can be found here:
http://www.memtest.org/

To run Memtest86 you need to either burn a copy of it to disk or use a USB stick. If you look down the page you'll eventually find the latest version and it's associated downloads. If your burning to disk choose the pre-compiled iso zip. If your using a USB method then the corresponding download is the auto installer for a USB stick.
Once you have Memtest86 on the media you selected you'll then need to enter your bios and change the boot order so that the machine will boot from either the disk or stick you have Memtest86 on.
Try and run the test overnight if possible unless it becomes clear that there is a issue. If there is a problem with the RAM you'll see the errors pop up in red so you can't miss them.

Post any new dump files

While running Memtest86 many errors occurred and im not to sure what they are. So I took a picture of them. If there is a file or something that shows you all of the errors let me know and I will send it to you.
