Seemingly random BSODs/Crashes while gaming

Yeah, Memtestx86 is extremely thorough but it's also not really a stress test, it's more of a test for faulty silicon. Timing faults aren't always caught out by it so as @freeagent says; TM5 on anta777 profile.

If it's passing anta777 and you're getting very infrequent crashes, you should maybe check your mains power delivery. Old power strips or failing surge-protectors can do weird things that cause clock instability in otherwise stable systems. Perhaps you have something noisy plugged in on the same circuit like a fan or motorised gadget, or perhaps you have some arcing in that circuit that's causing occasional brownouts to exceed your PSU's hold-up time.

I dunno man, you've actually done most of the obvious stuff and I've been doing this profesionally for 20+ years so my "obvious" list is pretty damn comprehensive. Confirm it's BIOS defaults and 2133 and run TM5 anta777. Do you by any chance have another RAM kit to run for a few days?
Are you sure about TM5? I can't seem to find much information on it.
 
Are you sure about TM5?
Quite. I haven’t ran memtest86 in literally 10 years at least.. definitely more.. probably :D

I also like Linpack Extreme, works great, kicks the shit out of your cpu though..

Edit again

Dammit I used MT86 5 years ago.
 
Sorry. I'm not sure if there has been a miscommunication somewhere but I haven't had any confirmation that this is a memory error.
you haven't confirmed it!
Over the past week, I have had issues with my PC either bluescreening or just outright crashing while playing video games.


List of bluescreen errors I have had so far in order of occurrence:

0x0000001A MEMORY MANAGEMENT
since i cannot understand what you posted.

i'm done.
 
I mean everyone else has managed. If you need anything clarifying, you should sayso.
i've said so.

again and for the final time, moving on.
