[SOLVED] Lately I've been getting tons of BSOD's .. these 4 only in the last 5 minutes .. could someone take a look at the .dmp files?

I wouldn't have blamed GPU right away based on not getting error with it not inside, I sort of guessed the Nvidia errors would stop since the card wasn't in. I would have suggested you try GPU in another PC and see if it had same problems.

4 x 8gb sets are specially picked to work with each other, the more sticks you try to get to work together, the harder it becomes. The current pairs of sticks might be fine in 2 x 8gb mode but slight differences is all it takes when you try top match 4. Sticks aren't damaged, hence no ram errors. its more a case of a slight little difference somewhere.

so after further testing it wasn't the GPU (thank god the courier company didn't accept the GPU to ship it to warranty because I needed to secure it better with foam or other protective stuff) .. it is the RAM. I pulled out the old 16GB and kept only the new 16GB. The BSOD has stopped for now .. did some benchmarks with 3dmark / stress test with AIDA64 / played some games that used to give me bsod and it's stable (hopefully it will stay like this) so now i'm trying to sort it out with G.Skill. My understanding is that I had to buy a single 4x8GB kit to ensure 100% compatibility as even if I ordered the exact same 2x8GB kit like the one I had there might still be compatibility issues between them. What I don't understand is why there were no issues detected when I tested with memtest86 / windows memory diagnostic tool / RAM stress test
