Okay, as described in the title, I'm having issues with diagnosing the exact source of these memory errors. I'll try to provide as many details as I can and will provide more if you guys need them. If you need the specs ask, but I think you at most you need to know I have 2x4 Trident 10cas 24000mhz sticks and replaced the psu to see if it was the issue and currently sits with a 1000w EVGA P2, so that rules out the psu. I also use Windows 10 Pro upgraded from 8.1 Pro.
So, here is what I have done on my own to try to narrow this down.
-I think an important thing to note is that every time after coming out of sleep, not on a fresh boot and always sometime after it goes to sleep, it will start producing memory errors.
-Initially before I even caught wind of these problems when my PC was first built, I had issues overclocking, I can say confidently that it wasn't my inability to use the various function in the bios, but when undergoing a stress test I would encounter Memory_Management BSODs along with irql_not_less_or_equal BSODs
-I have done multiple memtest runs, I means multiple, with at least 10 passes and here is what I encountered
I still have weird sleep related errors and even errors when shutting down that read "Memory Break-point Exception Reached" which has what looks like a memory address listed. This maybe unrelated and its not consistent enough if it isn't user generated; my display drivers like to fail and not recover. I have a Nvidia 970 card. I don't think this is that important of information, but I heard system memory errors can cause all sorts of problems.
Anyway, as you can see, I have been giving it some thought and need some reassurance. I think it is ultimately the motherboard, but don't know for sure and would like to hear your suggestions as to what to do. I'm thinking of RMAing the RAM first and if that didn't solve it then the Mobo.
Thanks, I appreciate the help
Cheers!!

So I down-clocked everything to make sure it wasn't because of my overclocks before I started.
Initially I encounter 1 single error when I first built it, and tested it again later and couldn't turn up any errors at all.
Then, my computer began acting increasingly.... well unpredictable, it would sometimes BSOD and sometimes not come out of sleep correctly if at all.
So I started testing the RAM for errors, and lo, I turned up more errors 20 or so this time.
At this point I figured it would be a good point to start testing the sticks individually marking the slots they came from.
So I took stick one out and left the other stick 2 in slot 4 and it turned up errors, so then I moved stick two in slot 2 and it didn't turn up errors.
[strike]But, when I moved stick 1 in slot 4, I get no errors.
Dumbfounded, I put stick 2 back slot 4 and it now has no errors.[/strike]
GO TO BOTTOM POST BY ME, MUST NOT HAVE DOWNCLOCKED UNTIL I WAS AT THIS POINT
So I move the sticks around in various slots testing them individually and together even overclocking trying to augment the problem. I haven't picked up an error since.
