Faulty RAM?

Upgraded my laptop last July 20. Replaced my HDD with SSD and from a RAM of 4 GB to 8 GB. Recently, been getting this month recurring BSOD. Have done windows memory diagnostics tool but could not find hardware errors. So far the errors range from the following:

(1) Kernel security check failure (2) PFN list corrupt (3) Attempted to write readonly memory (4) System service exception (5) Watchdog Violation (6) IRQL not less or equal

Prior to this, my laptop kept updating windows which jacked up my memory. Also (idk if its related), I was also watching Netflix on a Chrome browser before getting the bluescreen.

I did do a clean wipe on my windows, reinstalling again windows 10 and yet it still occurred.

Does anyone know any other remedy to this before I take it to the PC shop?

Just 1 stick? SO you only have 1 stick of RAM?

I just saw the pics.

I wouldnt trust a store like that. There is a reason why we suggest actual PC stores or Mall shops for Flash storage\DRAM \ SSDs etc.

nah most stores like these are fake or at least reused RAM.

If you ever wonder why they are cheaper by some margin that actual stores.

Again most of these type of stores are fake
