Why does my PC keep crashing under load ?
My PC blue screen whenever I play a game. The blue screen says " critical process died" or "karnel data inpage error"
sfc, dism, discs and ram scanned and good, gpu drivers reinstalled with DDU, page file ON or OFF no difference, pc doesn't wake up from sleep with 2 ram sticks in so I use only one. I tried to change slots for ram but no difference.
Event viewer shows error 41 and 161, no minidump files are being created.
HDD spins down quite often when gaming, system runs of SSD, right before crash ssd usage maxes out and after 2 mins it blue screens.
I really have no idea what could it be I'm dealing with it for a year now I bought new RAM because the previous sticks game me errors during scans but that did not help.
I'll be glad for any ideas

Kernel data inpage error could mean there is something wrong with your HDD/SSD too, not only the ram. I recommend running
chkdsk /f /r C:
in command prompt as administrator. Also run it on your second disk too. To run it on your SSD it will need a restart and you won' be able to use the pc for a few hours. The HDD should be fine without restart but since it's a HDD, it will take more time than the SSD.
You could also check the disks for bad sectors and their health with HD Tune Pro.
