Been getting unpredictable BSOD's for a while now, with different error codes every time, have been trying many things to fix it, but most of the error codes were super vague and could've been anything memory related, most stuff online said it was probably software, and every time I did something I had to wait (sometimes days) for the next BSOD to know for sure if what I did fixed it.
But today I finally got an error code that actually narrowed it down: CRITICAL STRUCTURE CORRUPTION, which apparently means either hardware went bad or something changed kernel code. I had already reinstalled all my drivers and pretty sure I don't have any viruses or malware so I figured it was probably either my RAM or motherboard and ran a memory check that google taught me today 4 times with different configurations to figure out which it was.

gonna be running at 2400MHz until I can afford to buy new ram I guess, got an old 2x8gb kit I'll be running with the other 16gb stick. Unsure if I want faster RAM with a single 16gb stick or if I want to keep 32gb, I'll see how it goes. Hopefully the BSOD's stop now.
