Hi there,
I started running into BSOD issues shortly after updating my GPU with Nvidia's drivers on 12/9. I initially assumed that was the cause, so I rolled back to their previous driver, and the system stopped BSODing. On 12/15, they published new drivers which I installed, and ran without issue until Monday of this week.
Starting on Monday, I started getting them more frequently. Steps I have taken since then:
1) Reverted Nvidia Drivers to last known stable driver: 457.51
2) Updated Windows 10
3) Checked for any other drivers that needed updating, everything is up to date.
4) Ran chkdsk, memcheck, etc.
5) I ran memtest86 for 8 passes overnight, 0 errors.
6) I got so frustrated that I just restored Windows, but kept personal files. Still getting BSODs.
7) I bought two new sticks of RAM, and replaced my original sticks.
8) I got BSOD after 1.5 hours after replacing the RAM sticks today.
I asked on reddit techsupport, and they suggested I post here. So far people seem to be convinced its a RAM issue, and barring that, a CPU issue which I really hope it isn't.
