Whenever i play Overwatch or CSGO my pc crashes into blue screen, the reoccuring error is system_service_exception and memory_management on w10. When i had w7 i got a bsod that said page_fault_in_nonpaged_area, dxgmms1.sys.

It may also happen that Overwatch crashes without crashing my pc but that hasnt happened the last few times, and i dont know if thats related.

I've ran prime95 without any issues, and with temps at 55c ish. Ive ran 3dmark without any issues.
I ran Memtest86, and i got errors with both sticks in dual slot, and when i tried ONE of the sticks in 3 different slots, it came up with errors in the first 10 minutes. I didnt run for longer than 15mins. In one of the slots i got over 400 errors within 10min. With both sticks at the same time i got around 64 errors within 10-15minutes. I realize you should run memtest for hours, but the fact i got this many errors on brand new ram kit is pretty weird.

Note: The crashes seem to only happen when putting settings on high and turning off limit fps. I tried to play for 10min with limit-fps to 30 and low settings and it all seemed stable, at least i didnt crash within 5-6 min like i did previously. So it seems like the more demanding it is the more likely crash is.

All the parts are brand new, except PSU.

Solution
If memtest gives errors you have bad memory, memtest occasionally has false negatives but I've never seen a false positive. Just RMA like everyone else.
