Well, sometimes it just happens that RAM sticks were put in badly, the fact that you had to take them out and try several positions could mean that that is now solved? Do you still have BSOD's?
Multiple Blue Screens, no clue what to do.

Yep, crashes remain and they appear to be getting worse and more widespread. Currently stuck on a reboot cycle where the moment I get to "Starting Windows", a black screen with a loading bar pops up that says Windows is loading files..., it finishes loading and reboots. With all the dumps and information available is it possible to roughly pinpoint what hardware part is the culprit? I'd like to try replacing it.

Not readily... Your mobo has standard OC capabilities. Are you sure you are not OC-ing?
BTW, are you posting this from another pc? If so, can you make a USB stick UBUNTU (linux) boot to test on the faulting machine? You don't have to install ubuntu on the machine, it is a boot only, but will help determine if your HW/BIOS combination is stable and therefore a W7 driver problem.

Sounds good, I'll try that. And yeah, I'm positive no OCing is happening.

OK, let us know how that turns out. I don't know if you are familiar with ubuntu but for the scope of this test, booting the system in ubuntu and just nosing around a while and letting it run for a couple of hours should tell you something. + If there is really a BIOS/HW mis function, Ubuntu will tell you..

Alright, I ran my computer in Ubuntu for about 4-5 hours, the only error that occurred was that my computer randomly locked up and remained frozen until I restarted it manually. Apart from that I tried to load up a Linux version of Minecraft to see if problems persisted but gave up as I had no internet connection. Is there anything I could run to test my video card to see if crashes occur in Linux as well?

If Ubuntu locks up the you have a Hardware/BIOS problem.
That means that the next steps should probably be:
1. reset BIOS to factory defaults, test again. (If still bsod's OR Freezing go to next step)
2. IF possible for you, replace HW components one by one and test after each replacement. Again ONE by ONE, else you'll never know which component did it....
If this is not a possibility for you then I'm afraid an expert repair-shop is in order as, again, this looks like HW/BIOS failure and not W7 with its drivers.
