Please run extended test and tell the result. Staying at 21 % is not a tool problem. Just wait. Note, Memtest'86 manual says: For most modern systems with large amounts of RAM, it will typically take more than 24 hours to complete a test.
Reference by pointer BSOD
I just got a stop code: reference by pointer BSOD and i literally don't know what's wrong. I usually get BSODs when i am watching something on Youtube or on Twitch, but also when using the browser for any other thing. Also I noticed when i am gaming i don't get any BSOD so that's why i tried to leave a game in background to see if i can fix it like that, and it worked for like 2-3 weeks, but now sometimes i get blue screens even with game in background. I've been getting BSODs ever since i got my pc (like 4-5 years ago) and over the years i tried to fix them by myself, sometimes i would fix them for days until i got BSOD again, sometimes it took weeks before i got another one, but now i genuinely don't know what to do, i don't want to aimlessly try to fix it anymore. I will link here a .rar file with BSODs that occurred from a week ago up until now. Thanks in advance!

2024-12-05T23:37:35+00:00 Did you use Memtest Pro version? Standard version skips some tests and is nearly equal standard mode of Windows test.
Please try memory modules one by one.

2024-12-05T21:16:01+00:00 So, first i tested the memory using Windows memory diagnostic tool on extended mode and it indeed froze at 21%, but i checked other posts on this forum regarding that 21% problem, and they said that it could be just a problem with the tool, so i tried to test the memory with memtest86 instead and all seems to be fine with the memory.
I had XMP off already.
I checked the voltage,frequency,timings of the RAM with my motherboard compatibility and everything looks fine, so yeah any other idea? :)

My name is Igor, it's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll try to help you.
You have different BSOD codes, this often means hardware problems unfortunately. Please start with memory testing using Windows memory diagnostic tool and switch it to extended mode when it starts (F1 key). Note, test hang at ~21% for more than 5-8 hours means memory error too.
Turn off XMP mode in BIOS if it is turned on.
And please check that your RAM modes (voltage, frequency, timings) are in compliance with numbers in the motherboard compatibility list for your RAM model.
Tell the result please.
