Need some memtest help.

[RealJSwaffs]

PC was giving me some issues with a black screen that would freeze up when i tried to start my pc normally. Tried a fresh install on windows I was able to start windows normally until i tried to install my Video Driver. After that my pc would boot then again with the black screen. A reboot would bring me to a blue screen of death (image attached). A friend recommended a memtest

So I ran a memtest on my PC. First the PC turned off during the memtest and automatically rebooted itself. Then i got the result of the picture. Also the test before this shows 65535+ errors into only the 3rd test it ran.

Also running windows 7 home premium
Processor: AMD FX 8350
Mobo: MSI 990FXA-GD65
Graphics Card: Radeon R9 200 series (believe it's a 270)

Hello... I don't use memtest for my needs... but I have a fast 'simple test" to try and correct any Ram/hardware communication programming... B /

Let's try a proper "battery removal" AND CMOS reset Clear to the MB ...ok? B /
Take your time here and be slow and careful to your MB... look in your MB manual/Pdf for pictures and location of the pins. B )
1) un-plug PS from wall.
2) remove MB battery
3) place jumper pins/switch on MB to clear the capacitors... for ~3 mins
4) remove Jumper/switch
5) re-install battery
6) plug monitor into the MB video output OR Video card for a BOOT display
8) plug in PS to wall
9) Boot computer.

So i tried cleaning the ram, running another memtest now seems to be lower in terms of errors; however, its frozen yet again. Would this now be a ram issue or a cache issue

Hello... Test the ram in another friends? MB to verify that or RMA time.. if ya don't want to bother... B /
This could determine a bad ram slot on the MB this way?... B /

Figured it out just bought some new ram. Said screw it. Memtest went through with 0 errors so guess just ram pooped out. However the black screening was due to a bad driver i used DDU to uninstall the driver that was stuck on it now it seems to be just fine thanks for all the help

Hello... memtest will test the communication of the RAM through the MB... B /
