In complete and utter frustration, I turn to this forum in hopes of help. I just built a gaming PC that doesn't game too well. No matter what game (Neverwinter, Arma 2, or Battlefield3) i play, I get various degrees of crashing. Sometimes BSOD sometimes not. Some instances crash to Desktop with application errors about referencing memory, some blue screens log in as ntoskrnl and i've ran memtest to length but gotten no errors. i've scoured the web for help running ssdlife, bluescreenview, furmark, ccleaner; tried underclocking, aggressive fan curves, forcing gen 2 on pci-e, turning off usb 3.0, etc etc etc but none of them have worked. I've finally broke down and reintalled win 7 over the weekend... i played blissfully for one night and then bam! same problems all over again.

If you're a error detective, i sure would appreciate any advice. i'm willing to try anything at this point.

My build:
Asus P8z77-V Pro
3570K
Nvidia GTX 670 FTW
Rosewill 750W
Corsair Neutron 120GB SSD
Seagate Hybrid 500GB
old Western Digital 160GB

It does look like a RAM problem, check your RAM profile in BOIS and see what frequency you have it set as. Try taking one stick of RAM out and then the other one and see if that stops the crashing. Looks like faulty RAM modules.

@JackNaylorPE No, probably 12 hours. more like 5 or 6. I'll run it at home while i'm at work today just to give it another try. Just checked Event Viewer and it gave me a bunch of stuff to patch. One of them that wasn't so immediately clear was Event ID 19, WHEA-Logger ... i'll have to do some more research on that.

@jk47_99 Yeah my Ram is correct in bios. I just tried taking out one stick and testing and then swapping out the other, but both sticks give the same results. I guess it's possible they both could be faulty, but it doesn't really strike me as all that likely since regular programs (not games) work fine.

so i've been really diving into the event viewer and decided to try and boil things down to the bare essentials. I've reinstalled windows one more time but i pulled my video card before hand. I did the windows updates installed LAN drivers and the drivers for my onboard video. Once i started neverwinter i got a crash within 5 mins. I've checked the Event Viewer and the last batch of errors are a bunch of "Warning"s for component: Processor Core Event ID: 19 Source: WHEA-Logger.
Are these something i should be worried about or should i be focusing more on the "errors"

I'm about to say the hell with it and bring into a shop

Wanted to come back and add that i fixed the problem. For some reason when i set Bios back to defaults it still kept the "turbo mode" on. I guess this mode is supposed to be a "safe" overclock serving as a premium feature for the p8z77 series. Anyway, i disabled it and everything magically fixed itself.
