Parts

CPU: Intel i7-4790k CPU @ 4.0GHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97 GA GAMING 7
Graphics Card: Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti Black Edition
SSD: PNY 250GB
PSU: EVGA 600w Bronze
RAM: Corsair XMS3 4GB (1 single stick)

just looking for more information on this problem Ive been having id really appreciate some opinions or answers. thanks :)

i'm running windows 7 fully updated, all the drivers are installed i put everything together correctly.

i seem to be getting a lot of blue screen errors

i've had to reinstall my os like 10 times but the current build i'm on now hasn't died yet.

i usually get the BSOD when i'm doing something heavy not on the processor but on the ram like if i have a ton of programs open it will do it, or if i'm playing a game like world of warcraft and on skype at the same time.

ive also been monitoring my memory usage on one monitor while doing stuff on another and it seems that my ram almost caps right before the BSOD or unrecoverable freeze.

its my cpu. but the problem im having now is starting to be more consistent with the cpu and not the ram. the computer freezes for a good 15 seconds every 2-3 minutes like everything freezes except for the mouse

4gb of RAM isn't a lot these days. I assumed you tried reseating the RAM? does that have integrated graphics? Have you tried running the computer for a while not using your gpu and just chilling with the integrated graphics for a while?

Regardless, try it. Also if you think it's a RAM problem get a different stick of RAM and try that. It has to be a hardware problem.
