I ran memory test, all good, minutes later BSOD, i remove 2 memorys and start working with 16. all good, then i put another module 24GB all good, use 32 and BSOD :( , remove last module and change with the other one, total 24GB with diferent module, all good , make memory test all good. use the left module on another laptop and all good.. Jesus, working with 24 GB just one day without any issues, and update windows, and pummm BSOD, i'm kindda sad with this, first my Msata dies, and now this, i just noticed that the Alienware keyboard lights fails the day before my Msata die.

    What are your temps? I would get BSOD when my temps were out of wack? It does sound like something is wrong with one of you memory modules or its slot.

    I would post the exact STOP error message, including all of the parameters.

    Typically (but not always) bad memory (e.g., RAM) will throw a STOP 0x0000001A with the first parameter being 41790 (0x00041790).
