Hello. I've been having random Memory Management BSODs for some time. It's getting annoying and I can't seem to figure a pattern for the BSODs if there is any. I'm having some issues with Google Chrome crashing quite often or getting a bit laggy (not the classic 2 shockwave files problem) and most of the times BSOD occured was with Chrome open.
This is my rig:

RAM CORSAIR VENGEANCE LP 8GB (2X4GB) PC3-12800 DUAL CHANNEL KIT
PSU SEASONIC S12II-620 BRONZE 620W
SSD MUSHKIN CHRONOS DELUXE 2.5" SATA3 120GB (windows installed here)
HDD WESTERN DIGITAL 1TB CAVIAR BLUE SATA3
MOBO ASROCK H77M
CPU INTEL CORE I5-3470 3.20GHZ LGA1155
GPU GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX 960 4GB WINDFORCE

Now I am not sure if the BSODs started after I changed the gpu (had gtx 660 oc before) but there was a time that windows shut down and rebooted around that same time and my ssd appeared empty so I had to reinstall windows. At first I had win7 ultimate but now I have win7 professional.

Whatever you need to help me, tell me and I will respond.
 
1| Have you made sure your BIOS is up to date?
2| Have you made sure your SSD is connected to the first SATA port native to your chipset?
3| Since your swap to the new GPU, have you made sure your GPU drivers have been reinstalled?
4| You may also want to state the source of your OSes. They will most probably be corrupt and the cause of the torment to you and your system.
5| To avoid step 4 you can try and breadboard your system with only one stick of ram.
