RAM TEST
Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 7 Help Forums
Note
MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 complete passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.
Make a photo of the result and post it please.
Addition:
If errors show up you can stop the test, remove all sticks but 1 and test this single stick in each slot for 8 passes or until errors show, switch sticks and repeat.
If errors show up and you see them a lot later, no problem, the errors don't affect the test.

Hey, Fixed the BSOD from occurring. When I was tearing apart the motherboard, I found two pins bent in the CPU socket. Made them straight and haven't got a BSOD so far. I thank you for your time and help
Very strange.
I have no idea how all the test you did in Post #1 would of passed with bent cpu socket pins.
