BSOD twice a day
Ntsokrnl.exe is the windows kernel main component, it isn't related to ram nor GPU memory "Bill Gates", anyway if your windows kernel is crashing then it probably have something to do with a bad driver or you have installed something that conflicts with windows(have you installed windows updates?) that basically is the problem considering that your RAM is not faulty as you said.
install windows updates and try to find out which is the driver or program you installed prior to BSOD happening, if it doesn't work please upload the minidump for me to see it

also you should search better :
WIKIPEDIA : ntoskrnl.exe (Short for Windows NT operating system kernel,) also known as kernel image, provides the kernel and executive layers of the Windows NT kernel space, and is responsible for various system services such as hardware virtualization, process and memory management, thus making it a fundamental part of the system. It contains the cache manager, the executive, the kernel, the security reference monitor, the memory manager, and the scheduler.

Can you tell us your full specs in detail?
Try running OCCT PSU stress test and see if it'll BSOD right after you start it. If it does, remove your GPU and try again, if it does again, we know it's not the GPU, nor is it the PSU being too small for it.
Can you try a different PSU? I had such problems when my PSU was failing.

I have a UPS installed so the sudden shutdowns are rare, also I bought this PSU not more than 6 months ago so it's not that old.Johnaudi wroteThe most obvious reason is that your power supply is broken down due to the electricity blackouts (unless you've got a UPS installed), and the power outage is dropping, cause your computer to switch from its main GPU to the Intel one, this will lead to a problem concerning switching the graphics which will cause you to BSOD.
Have you every gotten "Your GPU Failed" or "Your GPU stopped working correctly".
As I recall I never had "Your GPU Failed" .
My windows is not genuine so no I don't install windows updates, I will upload the minidump file and post the link hereDNA wroteNtsokrnl.exe is the windows kernel main component, it isn't related to ram nor GPU memory "Bill Gates", anyway if your windows kernel is crashing then it probably have something to do with a bad driver or you have installed something that conflicts with windows(have you installed windows updates?) that basically is the problem considering that your RAM is not faulty as you said.

OCCT test for power supply gave error after like 3 minutes , then I restarted it and the same happened , it doesn't say what's the error , just (stopped error detected)
I am starting to sense my PC is fucked up
Edit : test for cpu says error detected on core #3 ( I searched online for this and they suggest that CPU voltage may be unstable, maybe low)

How about the most obvious troubleshooting: Try a different PSU for a day
It would be obvious if I had a different PSU but I don't , I threw away the old oneTarek wroteHow about the most obvious troubleshooting: Try a different PSU for a day
Run the same test with the GPU removed. As Tarek mentioned above. The errors are related to memory. So it's either RAM or VRAM. Since Memtest gave no error, you might be facing a VRAM or an Nvidia driver issue. Try it without the GPU, if it runs fine, plug it back, and use DDU to uninstall the driver, then download the latest from Nvidia.
If all fails, run Memtest for an entire night to check for errors more thoroughly, if you still have no errors, download and install drivers from the board manufacturer's website. .
Also try to open a cmd as admin and type "sfc /scannow" to check for corrupted system files.

The pc ran all day on safe mode aka on built in intel gpu .. So i doubt it's a psu issue but you can never be sure unless you try a different PSUAvoK95 wroteRun the same test with the GPU removed.

It's impossible to be a vram issue, vram issues causes Artifacts and display corruption and by the time you get a BSOD your display should be obviously corrupted. it ran well on safe mode because the conflicting driver is not loaded.
never heard of that OCCT test how does it test PSUs? or CPU cores? you can't test a failure on a core since when that happens you get a BSOD

when testing a psu it applies a stress on cpu and gpu to max memory (not constantly max)DNA wroteIt's impossible to be a vram issue, vram issues causes Artifacts and display corruption and by the time you get a BSOD your display should be obviously corrupted. it ran well on safe mode because the conflicting driver is not loaded.

If the dedicated GPU was plugged it, safe mode would still run on it. I think he should run off the Intel GPU on normal mode for a whole day.
This actually not true .AvoK95 wroteIf the dedicated GPU was plugged it, safe mode would still run on it. I think he should run off the Intel GPU on normal mode for a whole day.
Only the very basic and very needed drivers are initialized during safe boot
I know, what I meant was, it won't be using the intel GPU. The VRAM of the dedicated graphics card would still be in use.Tarek wroteThis actually not true .AvoK95 wroteIf the dedicated GPU was plugged it, safe mode would still run on it.

Yea i know that, but how does it differentiate between an unstable cpu gpu and a faulty psu? maybe it reads the 12v rail and when it detects a dip it registers as PSU error, well honestly that's the shitiest way to test a PSU.aliessayli2 wrotewhen testing a psu it applies a stress on cpu and gpu to max memory (not constantly max)DNA wroteIt's impossible to be a vram issue, vram issues causes Artifacts and display corruption and by the time you get a BSOD your display should be obviously corrupted. it ran well on safe mode because the conflicting driver is not loaded.

what you have is 100% a driver or service error
Update on my case : Well as I said I bought a 'new' Ram , memtest didn't show any errors but for some reason when I removed that ram and replaced it , No more Bsod and no more game crashes !! Bf3 used to crash every 10 minutes now it's perfectly normal.
I think that the seller ripped me off so I returned it and demanded a Kingston replacement (The one he gave me wasn't a known brand)

Most of the time BSOD is ram related
