Re: memory issues!!!
First, revert all OC'es and timing tweaking to stock. Run the memories at advertised speeds and voltages. Then run MemTest86 for a day and see if it comes up with any errors.
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool If it doesn't but your blue screen persists, you can try Prime95. If Prime95 neither comes up with any errors, it's probably not your memory. |

I reckon the next thing you should do is check the RAM itself, by running MemTest86 on it.
Doing it overnight would probably be the best idea, 'coz it's best to let it run for a few hours. |
