If your problem is related to memory, then I hope getting more will fix it. I can't guarantee anything, though.
Here's a couple of good memory kits-- I took the liberty of checking the memory QVL for your motherboard. MSI is not very forthcoming with their tests I'm afraid, but here are some of the most popular lines of memory on the market. Either would do well in your motherboard.

Personally I would go with the latter of the two.
Hey, what does memory QVL mean, it's just brands that the manufacturers have tested on their products? I think I may just go with this though as it's £10 cheaper

and yeah, I hope it is the memory, I didn't really feel like swapping CPUs, I can never apply the paste right haha
OH and also, isn't there a site that lists all the cheapest component vendors? I'm buying a new keyboard too
Thanks again
That's exactly what a QVL is. It stands for 'qualified vendors list'. It's a list of components that the company has tested on a given motherboard for compatibility. To my knowledge every non-OEM motherboard that's produced today has a QVL for processors, memory modules, and sometimes graphics cards and other components.
As far as the QVL goes, it doesn't mean that components that aren't on the list
won't be compatible, it's just that ones that are on the list are
guaranteed to be compatible.
In terms of memory, sometimes a random module will not like something about the motherboard, and refuse to work right. Maybe the motherboard won't power-on, or the machine will not POST. There's no way to tell without testing. But, as I understand, this kind of thing doesn't happen very often with memory.
I have no evidence for this statement, but I think it stands to reason that higher-quality memory will have a lesser chance of causing problems. And Kingston HyperX is good memory.
Looking at that kit, I don't think it's on the QVL. But I doubt you'll have any problems with it.
If you're looking for price comparisons, the first site that comes to mind is PCPartPicker.
Here's a link: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/
Best of luck to you.
EDIT: The two kits I listed are on the memory QVL for your motherboard. I forgot to mention that. There are obviously others, but I chose to list those two because G.Skill is a tried-and-trusted brand.
