    Looks like RAM is bad. (Or BIOS settings are wrong, voltage, refresh rate)

      If it is bios settings' fault, should i increase voltage levels and set the default ram timings ? ( even though, i have never changed them so, shouldn't they already be in default mode ? )

      should i update the bios?

      i forgot to mention that, when i try to use windows 10, it blue screens after some minutes, sometimes even when booting. ( most of the bluescreens are memory_management, irql_not_less_or_equal and some related to ntoskrnl.exe )

        It should not be necessary to change anything. BIOS should read the correct values (voltages, timings, etc..) from the RAM SPD chips and set those values.
        So if you have to set something manually, then by definition something is broken. Most likely the RAM.
        So you then need to make the choice, replace the RAM or spend hours trying to work-around the problem with manual settings (which might or might not also void the warranty). Some BIOS don't even allow manually settings.
