BSOD Random, Custom Built Comp, not by me

Have had BSOD's in the past, but it seems like it is happening more often. I used to play games like Need For Speed Most Wanted, and I wouldn't have an issue. Now I will just be watching a Plex on my computer and I'll get a random BSOD. I don't know much of anything about BIOS, so I've never touched them for fear of messing up my PC even more. PC was custom built (not by me) around 5 or more years ago.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You, Peter!

Hiya and welcome to SevenForums!

Code:

BugCheck 1A, {41790, fffffa80036170a0, ffff, 0}

Probably caused by : ntkrnlmp.exe ( nt! ?? ::FNODOBFM::`string'+33da4 )

Run sfc /scannow and chkdsk /r.
Install the latest updates from Windows Update.

Do the exact same steps for chkdsk /r but instead of typing in sfc /scannow type chkdsk /r.

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

Check your operating memory. RAM is the main cause of BSOD. You should get your RAM sticks out of your computer ,get them out of dust if they're dirty and get them back right in the slots,this may fix the problem,good luck !

Darknight, it 0x1A's dosen't always mean that the memory is bad. But it is worth checking.

Run MemTest86+ for 8 passes. It must be MemTest86+. RAM - Test with Memtest86+
