    Sorry that you are experiencing memory problems, but its cheap and easy to fix and your BSOD problems will, most likely be over.

    How long should I test 1 stick at a time?

    You should run each stick at least several hours. Many test all of the ram overnight for 8 hours.

    Still testing ram.
    Testing the last ram module and I still have to check each slot. Their is a down side of having a lot of ram. That would be the time it takes for testing.

    I have tested all modules one at a time. The one bad one that I didn't have installed at the time of the BSOD is still bad as it was 2 week ago. That took up 16 hours.
    It passed with two ram modules installed and I'm testing now with 4 modules installed.
    I'm posting all this just to let you know that I'm going to do one hellofa ram and motherboard slot test. I want to find the ugly nasty little bugger that is causing my problem.
    I intend to be writing a book with this system and I don't want to have 4 pages wrote and a BSOD remove everything before I get it saved. My three brain cell would get very angry.

    Jack what size RAM DIMMs do you have?
    Your specs say 24GB but I can't figure out how to have that on a Quad channel board without having one channel not fully populated.

    I started out with 32 gigs. I had to remove 2 modules about a week or so ago because one was bad. I'm now at 24 gigs.
    I do believe as long as the ram is installed 2 sticks at a time it will stay in quad channel.
    I'm running a memory test on that computer at this time.
    I will check and post when done with the testing.
    I have got about 25 hours of testing done and about 5 more hours to go.
    I have 8 sticks of ram @ 4 gigs.; 6 are installed now. Three hours into the test and all is good so far.

    OK, I'm curious about 4 channel, does CPUz or MaXXmem2 report you in 4 channel mode?

    Oh, for testing single RAM stick they should also go for at least 8 passes too. Memtest86+ uses different values in each pass and some errors won't show at 3-4 passes at times.

    Done memory testing I think. Six modules installed and all pass.
    CPU-Z shows quad channel mode.
    My BSOD happened when I was doing nothing but online on this Forum or watching Hulu.
    I cleared everything Event Logs, Mini Dumps ect. and will wait for another BSOD.

    Use the computer, in your normal fashion. After about 6 BSODs, submit to us. Each BSOD gives a small clue. More than one is needed.
