I just built my first PC last weekend and for the most part things went well. I updated the bios through the flashback option (with a usb stick) before I even put the processor in. I built the whole thing but experienced a few bsod crashes (page error, memory management) the first couple hours of use. I thought it was a driver issue because it happened before I had updated everything. After those crashes, I finished updating every driver. The PC ran beautifully for 4 days. Last night, while I was playing Bioshock Infinite, I got another bsod crash (memory management).
I ran the windows 8 memory diagnosis tool and right away (at 1%) it said that there were memory problems. I have not run memtest yet.
Before running memtest, I figured I would ask the community if there was either A: anything I missed, or B: whether there was a glaring incompatibility issue that I did not know about. I just figured I would ask this before running memtest, which seems like it may be a long procedure. Here are my specs:
