    That test Is useless unless the RAM is consistently faulty, your case (if I understand well) is a low frequency intermittent error.

    In short just do what I suggested if you want properly test your RAM

    That was the first thing I suggested to check, just do it.


    So yes, dirty vents and/or radiators are (obviously) very common especially on 3/4+ years old machines (the mileage varies depending the environment, the usage and so on)

    That's not a good idea, especially nowadays that WU provides 95/100% of what you need.

    Just install windows, let WU do its work, and install manually the few missing drivers (if any).

    It's clear from the beginning that what your BSOD says is generic.

    Sometimes you see reference to say nvidia-something.sys then you know your VGA drivers or your VGA are the culprits.

    It's not your case, and I'm not going to repeat what Ive already suggested.
     
  3. The quality of latest Windowses is lower not higher. I have experienced BSoD after not being able to unmount Samsung USB disk. So I shut down OS and then BSoD occurred.
    Previously I have used Windows 7 and Linux on the same PC for years with the same USB disk (and others), with no BSoD or any other errors.
    It was my first BSoD since Windows 2000 SP0 era. Because even Windows 2000 SP4 was rock solid for me.

    Read Windows changelogs and you see fixed errors (BSoDs) due to TPM or other issues
    So you know, drag conclusions you want ;)

    PS. Of course BSoDs due to faulty hardware are totally different issue. There are testing tools like MemTest and others that could help to diagnose.

    (OP)

    I just have one ram stick I have tested it via memtest86 any other way you want me to test my ram
    pls let me know how to

    btw I have got one more ram stick exact config , I ordered it to make it dual channel but if present one is faulty I will just replace it
    And at the time of ram upgrade/replacement I will repaste my cpu just to be safe never did that on laptop before but I think some youtube videos might help

    cpu temps looks normal under normal circumstances I will do some stress test on it
    discrete gpu is disabled for noraml use I only enable it while gaming
    And havnt done that since long so I dont think it is about gpu



    Will be waiting for your reply

    Still no word about your current CPU/GPU temps, is that hard to install coretemp or similar utility.

    Like I said memtest is practically useless on your scenario

    core temps while running cinebench too high while fans on auto
    multiple cores hit 95-97
    even on cooler boost mode temps just uncomforatbly high in 90 range on some core
    I dont know why hwinfo didnt show me that

    while running chrome it shows some core occasionally hit 82 degree
    on idle its 45-50 degree



    then what to try instead of memtest ? @acer-5100

    For the fourth and (I hope the last time) cleanup your freaking vents and radiators. Those temps doesn't look comfortable at all

    For the fourth and (I hope the last time), forget memtests. Swap the memory modules if you think they are faulty.

    But still, clean your freaking radiators (and repaste), and please stop asking about imaginary problems before fixing the real one (your temperatures).

    I will repaste
    but I just have one ram stick so swapping is not possible
