So, after the forth BSOD in a couple of weeks, I decided to run memtest86. All the BSODs happened right after playing BF4, and I have 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz mem. After one pass of memtest, it showed only one error at test #8, location around 8150. To be sure if its bad ram, bad mobo or even bad configs, what`s the best thing to do?
Bad RAM sticks?

To test if its a bad motherboard, try using the computer with your old set of RAM. If it works, this rules out the motherboard being defective.
Try another kit of ram that may be different from your original. This can be ram from another unit, used ram, etc. If the computer works fine, this will tell you even more that it is not the motherboard causing the issue.
I honestly think its the RAM.
