About a month ago I made a post (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1786314/play-games.html) about how whenever I would play a game it would crash or give me a BSOD after some time. Many people said it was a memory issue, though I ran Memtest and Windows Memory Diagnostic, both saying that there were no errors. The problem has gotten worse as Photoshop will even BSOD me sometimes. Not really sure what to do now.

When a vendor builds a motherboard bug are found with it and ram and other parts. When these bugs are found the mb vendor drops bios updates. Just look at your bios main screen see what rev it is and the one on the mb vendor web page. With newer intel CPU the memory controller is in the CPU. If the ram or power supply not the issue it can be a bent pin under the CPU.

Make sure the bios on your mb is up to date so it has the newest ram and CPU code on it.
Make sure the mb running in standard mode. Some performance modes change the ram to CPU bus speed. Check that xmp profile on and with Cpuz the memory is set right and with gpuz the gpu is running fine. If system still bsod try another stick of ram to rule out ram chip issues. If not the ram chip then look to unclean or weak power from the power supply. Use the bios environment screen and hardware monitor to check te 3.3 5 and 12v outputs.

If this has been happening since I built it, wouldnt that mean that these wouldn't be the case?
