I built my first gaming pc a few months back, and when i put it all together and went to install windows 8, it just crashes when it comes to 40% At the time I asked a friend of mine for help, and h told me to get a USB copy of windows 7 instead. And so i did. It installed fine, and i thought that it was just a problem with the windows 8 install. Lately though, i have gotten loads of blue screens showing "MEMORY_MANAGMENT" and "IRQL_LESS_OR_NOT_EQUAL". Both me and my friend don´t know what the problem is, and would like to get some help.
PC specs:
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45
RAM: 2x4gb DDR3 Crucial Ballistix 1600MHz
GPU: Sapphire R9 280x 3GB DDR5
CPU: Intel i5 4670k w/standard cooling fan
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB
HDD: Western Digital RED 2TB
Power Supply: 650W Bronze certified 80+ (cant remember what brand)

Thank you in advance, and sorry for my poor English

EDIT: I have tested the RAM by running it through a stress test, and it came out that it had no faults

Thank you, I ran my memory through Memtest 86, and it passed once, but then it hit 3% on the next go and it had 1255 errors...
