All the updates are in.

Are your drivers up to date?

Are you running an SSD?

Have you tried a memory diagnostic?

I should see if all my hardware manufacturers have any new drivers.

I am actually running on a HDD.

Yes, I have done a diagnostic. Except restarting the system added another problem, it gave me a "SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED" BSOD.

Because I've had a similar problem before where this certain windows update caused my computer to BSOD. After doing a restore point crap, it managed to be solved so I'm thinking it could be an update your computer is not agreeing with.

It's rather worrying that you have so many BSODs... if you haven't done so already, might want to verify your Windows install isn't corrupted:

SFC /SCANNOW at an administrative command prompt, in safe mode if you can't boot normally.

Alright, it's scanning. I'll be back in a bit to tell how it turned out.

My PC froze at 20% when scanning.

May want to do that system restore then if that is the case.

Hopefully you have some luck with the system restore. If not, might be a good idea to open it up and check that all the connectors and RAM are seated properly.

Wait, I think I got it. Thank you!

I was running the SFC command on the desktop, but I found out it works a million times better in the safe boot. Oops.

Glad to hear it worked out. Back to more Doom.
