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

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.
