    download and burn or create boot usb

    boot from it
    start linux rescue environment
    click the "disk health" icon on the desktop or type: "gsmartcontrol" in the terminal
    run the short read/write test, if it fails it's your hdd that needs replacing
    check if there are any re-allocated sectors, or "pending" sectors. If yes, that's most likely the source of your problem, just replace the drive.

    2nd: open a terminal and type "dmesg"
    if there's a lot of red stuff, consider cp/pasting into google.
    a little bit of red stuff is ok. "warnings" can be ignored, errors are bad
    type dmesg again to make sure there are no recurring error messages.
    recurring error messages are super bad.
    This will often show sources of blue screens like faulty hardware.

    If that didn't bring up anything, run memcheck86 from the hirens boot menu for a couple of circles.

    If all of that shows nothing obvious, you can use a blue screen reader (also on hbcd). You can use the intel processor diagnostics tool from windows if you want to make sure it's not the cpu (it's not)
