System Memory Failure

I have a new Corsair One Pro computer and been running oculus vr on it and using it for nothing else. I have Windows 10, i7-7700k, 1080TI, 16GB RAM. My problem is that just the other day I had a system failure during one of my games and ever since then I’ve been getting blue screens when I’m playing any vr game.

The blue screens say “Stop Code: System Thread Exception Not Handled and what failed: NTFS.sys”. I recently ran a diagnostics on my computer and everything passed except for “Memory”. The items that failed were “moving inversion test, modulo20 test, Advanced Pattern Test, Address Test, and Walking Ones left test.”

Can anyone help me with what’s wrong with my computer? Any help is greatly appreciated.

You make a bootable stick with memtest 86+ and take one stick out,test the remaining stick for a few passes (like 4) when booting of memtest,switch sticks and test the other one.

For how much ram would you take into consideration what you do with the pc,but if you really want/need 64gb and you can afford it get it right away. When adding ram later might problems arise.
Mixing sets is generally a bad idea even when taking ones from the same maker+model+specs (partnr). An explanation,

read all,but look at least at "Just Adding More Dram".
Since this is a pretty new one and comes a pre build is it maybe better to take this up with Corsair.

One thing i only can ask if ram speed is over 2133mhz you have XMP enabled?
Other thing,but will mean you have to take a look inside,is to ask to test per stick of ram.Guess that the 16gb is 2x8gb.
 
Thanks for the response! How would I test individual sticks of ram to see which one is bad. I’m pretty sure my system is 2x8gb as you suggested. Also, if I wanted to upgrade my RAM to 32 (2x16GB) or 64 GB (4x16GB) since I may need new RAM anyway, what would you suggest is the best?
