Windows 10: Not sure whether RAM or Motherboard are causing BSOD

Been experiencing near-daily issues with BSOD. All signs point to a RAM error, but I have run both memtest86 and a memory diagnostic to test the issue. Both tests reported zero issues. My Dad suggested that it could be my motherboard which is running the latest BIOS that is causing the issue but I don't know how to check for that. Here are my dump files.https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ak-R9Q5s8y5syxZVhK61IqPmIrjk?e=odKkfK

Persistent BSOD ntoskrnl.exe

Ok understood CW. Could it be possible that even though the memory used is in the QVL list for the motherboard that it would still cause BSODs? I don't really feel like futzing with Memtest so would next steps be updating to latest BIOS, installing all RAM and then retesting?

 

Motherboard or RAM

Sounds like the board doesn't like to use an XMP with that RAM.

Running the RAM at the default frequency may be better than unreliable operation at its rated frequency.

You may be able to improve matters by manually setting the voltage and timings, especially if the motherboard is fussy when all 8 DIMM slots are filled.

Just curious: is the RAM on the QVL for the board, for 8 DIMMs? (Not being on the list doesn't suggest a problem, but listed RAM should have no trouble.)

Sorry that I can't offer more solid receommendations. I used to run a P9X79 Pro (with 4 DIMMs), but retired it a few years ago. (My hobby is assembling my own PCs, rather than doing useful work with them.)

 

BSOD Hardware Caused???

they do weird things like that, which all seem like something else is failing.
One of the worst things to diagnose, they seem to only quit when they want to.

Memtest is a good next step, if you rule out RAM and Power Supply make sure you disconnect all unnecessary peripherals and try to start the system with as little hardware as possible, if it works then, you can narrow down the culprit by trial and error.

the follow was taken from some website:

It's very difficult to determine if a failure is caused by the CPU because many other components can cause the same symptom when they fail.

1. System fails to boot
2. System re-boots intermittently
3. General Protection Fault
4. Illegal Operation
5. Stop Error, or BSoD (Blue Screen OfDeath)

Actually, CPUs rarely fail, and about the only way to determine if the CPU is causing the failure is to swap it out with a known working CPU of the same type and speed. Since this is difficult, the best bet is to first rule out every other possibility.

Before suspecting the CPU, rule out all the possibilities listed below.

1. The Operating System
2. A peripheral port device
3. A bad memory module
4. The hard disk drive
5. The power supply
6. The motherboard

If you have ruled out out all the other possibilities, investigate the items listed below.

1. Overheating
2. A short circuit
3. ESD
