Hi guys! Thank you for taking the time to look at my problem.
I have just purchased brand new components and assembled them and had some massive issues including installing Windows 7 from a USB stick, eventually got it installed but I had to remove one of the ram sticks/move slots.
The PC would boot up Win7 fine with one stick of ram, I turned it off and installed the other stick, sometimes it would stay on for 1-3 minutes and then crash and just set itself in an endless reset cycle without ever booting windows. So I researched these problems further and I found this link and followed it/completed it. http://www.gskill.us/forum/showthread.php?t=7688.
The PC would then stay on for 10-15 minutes and I just let it sit to observe further and it then crashed with a BSOD I was able to catch a line from them the first was "MEMORY MATTER" or something similar. The other was "IRQL_NOT_LESSOR_EQUAL_" which was the same BSOD I was getting when installing Win7.

I have installed/updated all drivers when the single stick was in and working, (Including bios etc).
Also I should mention I changed the voltage on the DRAM to 1.55v as I have read on several other similar threads to this one.
I spent the better have of a whole day research and attempting to fix these issues on my own and am really quite stumped.
If anybody could help at all it would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Kirri.

I would make it at least 8 passes to be sure. If the test passes with no errors can you please upload the dump files to www.mediafire.com and I will take a look.
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL indicates that a kernel mode process or device driver attempted to access memory that it wasn't supposed to. If the memtest fails then it's probably a driver but from the sounds of your situation it sounds like a memory issue. Please post the results of the test.

If the BSODs aren't creating dump files then you should enable driver verifier.
Go into safe mode by F8 on boot.
1. Start typing verifier.exe into the start menu, and open Verifier.
2. Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)", and hit Next.
3. Make sure Standard settings, Force pending I/O requests, and IRP Logging are selected, and hit Next.
4. Select "Select driver names From a list", and hit Next.
5. Click on "Provider" at the top to sort the list by manufacturer; select all drivers not provided by Microsoft Corporation, Macrovision or Unknown.
6. Click finish and restart your PC.
Before restarting make sure dump files are set. Go onto the start menu, right click my computer, select properties, the advanced system settings, then under startup and recovery choose small memory dump and untick automatically restart.

Driver Verifier crashes your PC with a BSOD when it finds a bad driver. When it crashes, boot into safe mode and upload the dump files to a website like www.mediafire.com and I'll be able to find the driver responsible.

After doing what you said and installing both sticks of ram the PC won't start in safe mode at all, it gets to the Loading windows files and freezing while loading.
When starting in normal mode it stays on for 10-15 seconds before the first time it showed a CCC.EXE error with a hole heap of numbers i couldn't write down in time, and the seconds time it was another error didn't catch it in time but now it's not BSOD'ing its just freezing with a whole heap of random lines across the screen turning grey kind of I guess? Doesn't even look like windows.
I cannot boot in safe/normal with both sticks of ram in to check the Dump folders, with one stick it booted up and I was able to find four dump files one I couldnt upload as it had 0kb? others are here.

Ok then, Ive tried both sticks one at a time in the PC and it boots regardless of what stick I have in the PC, only when both are in it causes problems? Could that still lead to faulty ram? I have another PC which i could borrow the ram out of too check if it is the RAM, should I do this? or could it ruin my current PC by using the RAM to test with? I ran memtest for 22 passes and it never gave me an error, If all this still indicates bad RAM what would your suggestion be? Which ram would be best for this build?
Kind Regards,

I tried using another G.skill ram stick 1033MHZ 8 gb. One single stick in the first blue slot and it booted up and ran stress test fine, no errors or problems at all. Places the 1600mhz 4gb x 2 in the pre existing PC and they caused it to crash also. So i guess problem solved! Ill go and buy a single 8gb 1033 mhz stick install it and leave it at that.
I really do appreciate all the help you have given me.
Have a fantastic day!
