Hello everyone!

I hope that someone may be able to help me with my problem.
I recently (i think in April) updated my computer and I thought that I got it all figured out (oh, how wrong I was) and probably did/bought something wrong.

My build contains an ASRock 970 Extreme 3 Motherboard and a AMD FX-8350 CPU. GPU is a GTX 750 TI.

Everything seemed fine until the first BSoD happened.

So I tried reading up what the problem could be and found out (pcpartspicker.com told me so) that some AMD 970 chipset Motherboards don't support Vishera CPU's. And sure enough mine doesn't seem to be on the compatibility list.

Could It be that these (yes, multiple since then) Bluescreens could be caused by this?

They usually happen if a watch something on Netflix while playing a game (2 monitors). The browser I use is Chrome.


TL;DR:
-Bluecreens (plural) happen
-ASRock 970 MoBo, FX-8350 CPU
-Could uncompatible Vishera CPU cause BSoD?

Here's my build by the way (only the crucial parts on there) :

Solution
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory

Combining two kits is not recommended as they have never been tested together. There is no guarantee that using multiple kits of memory will work.

Thanks, Calvin, I'll test it and report back :)

Update: I removed one of the kits and unfortunately it worked for only a few hours until it BSoD'd again :(
