So over the past 2 years, my PC had a crash on a rare occasion where it would freeze and a loud static noise (like when you unplug a headphone jack type of sound)
Lately, It’s been happening way more often and it’s a real problem right now. It always almost happens when playing video games

Friends say it may be a damaged hard drive, so that’s one option. Others say it’s RAM.

It’s come to a point where I'm afraid to use my computer more than necessary so I don’t completely destroy my computer
Any solutions?

I've included event from a "kernel crash" I googled beforehand and found out that it may have something to do with that. I'm really bad with computers, so I don't really know what to do

Specs:
CPU:Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
Motherboard:Z170 PRO GAMING
Ram: 8GB
SSD/HDD: Samsung SSD 750 EVO 250GB
GPU: Radeon RX 570 Series AMD Radeon Graphics Processor (0x67DF)
OS: Windows 10
System type: x64

Overheating and/or a flaky PSU are two common causes of such behaviour.

You mention "my PC had a crash" was this a BSOD, if yes, do you have and know how to upload any crash dmp/s

Can you post the brand and model name or number of the power supply (PSU).

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:
In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.
In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.
Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.
