PC keeps crashing when I try to play most games and I can't figure out why
All the errors seem memory related. It will also crash to a black screen but it always restarts before I can get a good look at the error message.
I've reinstalled windows, I've tested both the RAM and all the Hard drives separately, I've tried "sfc /scannow" and "Windows Memory Diagnostic" but none of them have found any issue. I've run every test google has suggested but I can't remember which ones. None of them fixed my issue or gave me any indication that something is wrong.

Perform a Clean Boot.
Before making major changes, we need to rule out a software conflict as the trigger. A clean boot starts Windows with only essential services.
Press Windows key + R, type msconfig, and press Enter
Go to the Boot tab
Check the box next to Maximum memory
Set the value to 50% or less of your total RAM
Restart your system
Press Windows + R, type mdsched.exe, and hit Enter.
Choose to restart now and check for problems.
The tool will scan your RAM for errors and report any issues.
