I finally narrowed down my BSOD to having my Corsair ram run at the XMP rated 1866Mhz. I have my 4670K clocked at 4.4Ghz @ 1.28V. If i set the ram manually to 1333Mhz, they system runs 100% stable. As soon as I switch it to the XMP profile to run at 1866Mhz I get the BSOD, whea uncorrectable error 0x124. Is my RAM bad or am I doing something wrong?
 
Solution
They should be fine unless a stick is weak or going bad, try them with XMP and raise the DRAM voltage to 1.55 if OK there, would guess a weak stick, if still problems would guess a stick going bad
2 x 4gb 1866 cl9 1.5V XMP

Shouldbe fine with -
4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 2800(O.C.)/2666(O.C.)/2600(O.C.)/2500(O.C.)/2400(O.C.)/2200(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1800(O.C.)/1600/1333 MHz Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory

Use memtest86 to test your ram.

Double check it's timings etc with CPU-Z
