Solved Random BSODs and Crashes (in-game/idle/browsing)

Running MEMTEST.
It is at 25%. Here are the results 'til the current moment:
PASS 25%
ERRORS: 33792
4863.9MB (Don't know what it means, but I have a bad feeling about it)
See, that was your cue to stop the test and test individually.

Memtest86+ diagnostics are not an exact science. If you get even one error, that is one too many and you should test the modules individually.

James, I let the test running with both sticks overnight, I've got one error in the Pass 6, and now I went to school and the test was running with only one stick. It went to Pass 12 without any errors. How many passes should I let it run?

12 passes should be plenty. The point of doing this is to isolate the bad RAM. The first stick went 12 rounds error free. If the second stick goes 12 without errors, you will need to test them longer.

What if they are working just fine? May it be a Hard Disk problem?
Oh, and I've got a 500gb HD. I will install Windows in this HD and see if it works fine. But anyway, I m going to test the another stick overnight again (it takes about 3 hours, so...)

Thanks everybody for the support. I will post here if I have any other problems. About the Windows Update issues... It seems they are gone.

Don't worry about anything else until the RAM issue is resolved. Anything that you do to your PC while you have bad RAM has the potential to be corrupted. Be Patient.

Well, seems like the RAM I took off to test the another stick was causing all these issues. Now my game doesn't crash anymore, Windows Update runs just fine and I didn't get any BSODs until the moment. I didn't even need to install Windows again.

Thanks everybody for the support. I really appreciate it.
If I have any problems, I will contact you in this thread.

See you later, guys!
