Here is the BlueScreenView HTML report:

The moment I unplugged my HDD the amounts of errors I got reduced, but now (with HDD still unplugged) it seems that the amount of BSODs is coming back again.

I already ran a memtest86+ and got over 65k+ errors, when it stopped counting.

Could you guys shed some more light on this? Swap out the RAM?

Thanks in advance guys

If you are getting that many errors while running memtest the ram is most likely bad. Try scanning one stick at a time to find out which stick(s) are bad. Once found, replace that stick with the exact make and model ram stick.

>replace that stick with the exact make and model ram stick.

What does this mean?

Also: my CPU cooler is really big (Scythe mugen) and my ram is low profile. I have to remove my fan if I want to pull out one of the ram sticks but I can't find my cooling paste. Do I have to reapply the cooling paste every time I take the fan off?

It means the RAM specs need to match so that you get a match for the RAM stick being replaced.

So I have to first test them individually ( I have 2x corsair low profile) too see which (or both) are faulty. Then I need to replace them with the exact same model stick? Why exactly?

Run the mem test first to see if you have a faulty module. If you find you have a bad RAM stick then you will to test each one individually to see which module is at fault.

You lower the risks of potential problems if both sticks are the same model from the same manufacturer. Mismatched RAM can cause a multitude of problems.

As far as the paste goes you should be fine without replacing it as long as it does not become contaminated with dust or debris.
