BSOD on Windows 8

trying to check RAM by overloading the computer. the second chip i guess is rarely used because i spend most of the time with under 4GB of usage.

Memory Diagnostics Tool in Windows 8

yeah i had selected that option. it was supposed to run on a reboot. but it did not probably because i had hibernated. :\

best way to test it is by using memtest booting from usb drive Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool , are you still using that seagate which had bad sectors which repaired automatically , maybe its that hdd causing bsod

ah well. that was my secondary hard drive. and it is still connected to the computer though i am not using it. i just configured it to be used for file history feature in windows 8. i am saying it again... bsod happens once in like 15 days. so it is not likely to be a ram issue. if my ram was faulty, i would be seeing it more frequently considering i use the computer rather excessively on a daily basis.

You can use this to check your crash dumps to see whats causing the crash Blue screen of death (STOP error) information in dump files.
