About a month ago I purchased and upgraded the motherboard, RAM, and CPU in my computer and have been having issues ever since. The one that remains most prevalent is BSODs that have occurred on and off, but recently have been occurring often when using memory intensive programs like games (specifically Civ V), anywhere from every few minutes to once an hour, but they happen far too often. I've been getting them for three weeks now on and off but up until now have been fairly bearable. The most common ones are PFN List Corrupt and Memory Management, but a few minutes ago got a new one that I don't recall the name of. I'm guessing it may be a RAM issue and am ready to run Memtest if necessary (although I have no idea how to use or make sense of it), but I'd like to try to avoid going through such a long process if possible. I've reseated my RAM several times, and my video driver is up to date. Please bear with me because I have next to no experience with any of this, but can provide any information necessary and try various things to more specifically diagnose the issue.
I'm running Windows 7 Premium 64 bit, a 3570k, EVGA GTX 560 TI, and 8gb of DDR3 Patriot Viper Xtreme RAM on a Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H motherboard. I am not overclocking anything.
Any help would be much appreciated.
