Occasional BSOD with new build

"New" as in the past few months. Built the system in my sig at the beginning of the year. Not sure when it started but I randomly get a blue screen every so often, maybe once a week or once every other week, that says "The Windows Subsystem system process terminated unexpectedly," and I have to reboot. Then, the system will no longer properly enter S3 sleep, it will just enter S1 and the fans will keep running. Turning it off completely and back on fixes this.

What is the best first step in figuring this out? A memtest? I really have no guess what the cause is.

Thanks.
 
It definitely could be memory related, a memtest would help narrow that down. Otherwise, I'm thinking that something isn't seated properly.

Thanks, haven't run memtest in years, I'm assuming it's still something you just throw on a USB stick...I'll give it a shot. As for seating, I don't currently have a video card, so really just memory and SATA cables?

It's definitely worth unplugged and replugging anything that you can. As for running memtest, yeah you can boot it from a USB key these days.
