BSOD after start-up and whilst playing several games
I've had many crashes and BSoD problems lately. Hopefully somebody here can help.

Sorry. I forgot to mention. After reading that a lot of crashes are caused by Daemon Tools, I uninstalled it. Then I ran the SF diagnostics tool.

Then test your ram, Take memtest. Run for 8 passes and test each stick in a know good slot for an additional 6 passes.
Errors are sometimes found after 8 passes.The goal is to test all the RAM sticks and all the motherboard slots.
Check your motherboard manual to ensure the RAM sticks are in the recommended motherboard slots. Some motherboards have very specific slots required for the number of RAM sticks installed.
If you get errors, stop the test and continue with the next step.
1. Remove all but one stick of RAM from your computer (this will be RAM stick #1), and run Memtest86 again, for 7 passes.
Be sure to note the RAM stick, use a piece of tape with a number, and note the motherboard slot.
If this stick passes the test then go to step #3.
2. If RAM stick #1 has errors, repeat the test with RAM stick #2 in the same motherboard slot.
If RAM stick #2 passes, this indicates that RAM stick #1 may be bad. If you want to be absolutely sure, re-test RAM stick #1 in another known good slot.
If RAM stick #2 has errors, this indicates another possible bad RAM stick, a possible motherboard slot failure or inadequate settings.
3. Test the next stick of RAM (stick #2) in the next motherboard slot.
If this RAM stick has errors repeat step #2 using a known good stick if possible, or another stick.
If this RAM stick has no errors and both sticks failed in slot#1, test RAM stick #1 in this slot.
4. If you find a stick that passes the test, test it in all the other motherboard slots.
If Part 2 testing shows errors, and all tests in Part 3 show errors, you will need to test the RAM sticks in another computer and/or test other RAM in your computer to identify the problem.
In this way, you can identify whether it is a bad stick of RAM, a bad motherboard, or incompatibility between the sticks.
Do this test overnight, before going to bed.

I have not carried out the following
Code:Run a full scan with both (separately) once downloaded, installed and updated. Run Memtest. I'll carry this out tomorrow evening. Things do seem better since updating my GFX drivers though.
I've uploaded some screen shots.
1 - 3 are CrystalDisk & Speccy screenshots
4 is a screenshot of sfc /scannow results.
Thank you for your help so far. It's much appreciated.
I've had three blue screens today. None whilst playing games.
I ran memtest last night in the following order.
Stick 1 - Slot DDR3_1
Stick 2 - Slot DDR3_2
Stick 2 - Slot DDR3_1
Stick 1 - Slot DDR3_2
Hopefully replacing the damaged stick will be the solution.
Let us know how things go after getting the new stick. :)
Thank you very much for your help. I'll post back once I've sorted the replacement.
Sure, till then use the good stick and let us know if there are any issues. :)
