BSODs just after windows start up
I've recently put together my first new full build, and I need some help troubleshooting. I have been getting some bad_pool_header BSODs the first few times I start it up, and occasionally some artifacting when not running games (I thought I had this solved with a fix in CCC, but it came back).
As the PC was relatively stable after a few tries booting, I didn't put too much time in to fixing it.
The wireless card then went missing from device manager, and I decided to get to the bottom of it, as having no net is no fun.
I tried to run memtest, and it would reboot the computer a few seconds in to the test.
I tried again with 1 stick in slot 1, and it worked with no problems.
Other stick by itself in slot 1, no problems.
Running memtest with both sticks in any combination of slots 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1 etc, all cause a reboot. I haven't tried 2-3, 2-4, 3-4 etc.
Now I have just reformatted and reinstalled Windows, running with one stick in slot 1, and I have had no BSODs or artifacting just yet, and the wireless card is found and everything seems to be working.
I've attached all the minidumps of BSODs from before my reformat, any ideas on what is going on would be much appreciated.
