* Keep in mind this error happens every so often i am force to hard reset the PC, but once im able to log in i can do pretty much anything i want with out issues i can game for long hours until shutdown, just to give you examples World War Z,Star Wars Battlefront 2,Total War Warhammer 2, all Ultra Graphics 1080p for hours on end.
* What kind of Troubleshooting did i do? List below/
as i am typing this now im playing Battlefield 1 just fine.
* This issue only happens when i get to the login screen or a little bit after i log in. it happens every so often.
but when it does not happen i can game all day log.
EDIT: So im believe this entire issue is a vCore issue on the CPU OC, i went and turned the vCore down from 1.325 to 1.250 and everything seems fines, i restarted/shutdown the PC about 6 times to see if the problem will happen even shutdown the PC for couple of hours and it has not been back since.

* What kind of Troubleshooting did i do? List below/
- I OCed the CPU to 3.7 with stable vcore of 1.325 and ran Cinebench and Prime95 for couple hours each with each having a stable avg temp of 70c, I even went Stock Speeds and the error would still happen.
- Ran Memtest for 3-4h 8 instances each at 1.5GB Ram and had over 300% no errors
- I took out each stick and put 1 in at a time, and restarted/shutdown the pc 5 times each and it worked perfect no checkerboarding, BUT with both sticks in it cause the issue to happen! so maybe both sticks are defective?
- I replaced the PSU with Thermaltake Smart DPS G 600W Digital 80+ Bronze Semi-Modular ATX 12V 2.31/EPS 12V 2.92 Power Supply and everything seems great.
- With my Monitor i tried to see if it was a display port issue and went back to HDMI and it still persisted.
