Hi guys, I need help. I purchased a bare bones kit and due to a mix up with deliveries the supplier gave me a free 4GB Ripjaw memory stick. I used this alongside 2 sticks of 2GB Kingston RAM I already had. So I had 3 sticks equating to 8GB. So in order to run the RAM in duel mode I went out and purchased another 4GB to pair with the Ripjaw. Like a douche I decided to buy Corsair memory as it was cheaper on Amazon than the Ripjaw. Everything was fine for a couple of days but suddenly whilst watching a movie my PC BSOD. It boots up fine but again I get BSOD after about ten minutes. I get different error codes every time i get BSOD. I ran memtest86 and after about 6 passes It found errors although I don't know exactly what the results mean.

I'm currently using the single 4gb Ripjaw stick . My question is what should I do next. I was thinking of running memtest86 with just the corsair memory. If that works out ok I was going to purchase another ripjaw and corsair memory. So i can pair 2 ripjaws with 2 corsairs.

Sorry if this sounds a little vague. I'm not a total noob just haven't built my own PC for years. The PC will primarily be for music production. The MB is Gigabyte and the processor is my first AMD. I previously used Intel.

Any suggestions on what I should do next

Take the 4GB sticks and put them in slots 1-3 and the 2GB in 2-4, boot into the BIOS, guessing you have 1333 or 1600 sticks, so once in the BIOS check and set timings to 9-9-9-24 or 27, ensure CR (Command RAte or timing) is 2T or 2N, set DRAM voltage to 1.6 and give it a try, if problems persist let me know what mobo/CPU and preferably the models of the DRAM - should be able to stabilize them from what you've said
