It's very hard to solve a problem like "my game randomly crashes" without being able to sit down with you at your computer. I can give my general strategy.

 

Step 1: If at all possible reproduce the crash. Try to find some action that you can preform that will cause your game to crash.
Step 2: Remove HALF your mods. (So, for you that means basically everything from morebeards down gets deactivated.)

Step 3: Try to crash. If you game doesn't crash, add HALF of the mods back in (so everything up to Bettercooking) If it still crashes remove another HALF (so everything up to around Armorsmith).
Step 4: Repeat until you're down to one mod that, when removed fixes the crash and when added causes the crash.

What you're doing here is looking for the one mod that is causing your game to crash. Instead of going through them one at a time, we're checking half of the possible culprits every time and either eliminating them or the other half of culprits. This will take the number of potential test runs down from 72 to 6.

Two other thoughts:
Fallout 4 typically crashes because of bad form IDs or mesh issues.
Learn to use FO4Edit. It's good for so much more than cleaning your mods: it can tell you if a mod has errors and it can show you where every single mod in load order overwrites another.

I know it's not a solution, but I've found that most of the time, you're going to have to troubleshoot until you find it on your own. I hope I've given you a decent strategy to approach it with.

PS.
What mod manager are you using? Is it wrye bash? That seems... unnecessary.

If you want to check your hardware, I recommend CPUID HWMonitor. You'll get temps, volts, etc.

 

3v, 5v, & 12v rails should be within 5% of the 'target voltage'. e.g. 3 volts should be between 2.85v and 3.15v. It's similar for the other voltages. Some voltages (VCORE, etc) may fluctuate based on motherboard/cpu/etc. You'll have to know what the other voltages should be before you'll know if they're off.

 

If 3v, 5v, or 12v is dropping off, then you may have a power supply issue. 12v is usually the culprit in these situations.

 

That said, if you're not crashing like this in other games, I'd be more inclined to think it's the game itself or one of the mods.

 

With known memory problems, the first thing I would do is 'Verify game files' if this is the Steam version. If it's not, remove and reinstall the game. Bad RAM can cause file corruption in files it writes to.

 

Once that's done, start a fresh game (for troubleshooting) with NO mods installed. diagnose from the simplest point possible.

 

Once you get to this point, there are two directions it can go:

1. Crashes are gone with no mods loaded

• start reinstalling the mods, one at a time. IF you get all the mods loaded with no problems, you're done.
• If it starts crashing, stop adding new mods. At this point you know ONE of the conflicting mods - the last mod loaded. we're going to call this one 'Bad Mod 1'. Leave it installed.
• Remove one of the other mods. Load the game and see if it crashes. Continue doing this until the game is stable.
• When the game is stable, the last mod you removed will be the second conflicting mod This is 'Bad Mod 2'.
• If you're lucky and only two mods are conflicting, look at the alternatives to those two mods. Load up Bad Mod 1 and a replacement for Bad Mod 2, or the other way around. Check for crashes.

2. Crashes persist on a fresh install:

• You need to look at possible driver issues or other hardware problems. If you ran more than a few days with bad RAM, you may find yourself reinstalling/repairing Windows and fixing file system problems. I've been there and it's not a happy place.

Did you run the LOOT program to optimize your load order?
