Ok, first time posting here so I hope I get this right.
Recently upgraded an aging build and have had nothing but problems. Random BSODs, application crashes. I reformatted after the upgrade, Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I first thought it was a graphics driver related issue. Stripped out all graphics drivers and installed "most stable" according to forums. When that didn't work I removed those and just upgraded to latest supported driver. Still get BSODs. According to BlueScreenView the bsods I've gotten are either caused by hal.dll or ntoskrnl.exe. Thought it might be my PSU again from research I did on my own. It made sense to me, random weird stuff happening right after an upgrade and a 5 year old power supply, so I upgraded to 630W.
Last night was playing League of Legends and kept getting game crash after crash...every 5-10 minutes. It finally ended with a system_service_exception. I removed 4GB of RAM from my computer that I suspected were the cause and started it back up. Played for another 2 hours with no problems, or crashes. Thought I had the problem figured out so I ran a memtest86+ to confirm, two sticks at a time and tested in all slots. All sticks have passed.
The only thing that seems to form any kind of pattern is that all the bad things happen when I max out my motherboard's RAM capacity. Which is 8GB.
So why would that be and how can I stop it? (Assuming I'm right about my theory)
Current system configuration is below. Also I have not overclocked anything on my system. Mini dump located at the dropbox link below.

I greatly appreciate any help that you all provide. Thanks in advance.
