    BSODs for a year and a half, does this look like bad RAM?


    For the past year and a half I have been getting crashes about once a month, while doing basically anything from gaming to browsing the interwebs with Chrome. The crash was always a generic hardware failure message, and I tested everything and all tests came back clean. Memtest specifically even reported no errors after the recommended (from a guide here somewhere) number of passes.

    But within the past month I have gotten two new types of BSODs. About a week ago I got a "Page_Fault_In_Nonpaged_Area" BOSD. and just now I got one that said "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL", but using WinDbg reported this (not sure of it's a memory issue, because it says code corruption at first... though I am not sure of any of this because I don't know how to read these things properly anyway, and I uploaded the past 4 minidumps I got):

    To add, the past two errors seem to be page file related. The page file isn't on my boot SSD but rather on one of my HDDs. Could a bad HDD also be the cause?
