Bad ram or something else?

Hey guys about 5 days ago I built my new computer which I built with G. Skillz ripjaw V 16 gb (8 x 2) ram. This morning, I started having a series of nearly constant BSODs with the following messages -

- Kmode exception not handled
- Bad Pool header
- Memory Management


I couldn't find the exact route of the cause, but I have disabled fast booting, and looked for bad drivers/ones that need to be updated.

I run a Z170 Gigabyte gaming 6 Mobo with a 6600K and I tried downloading the Intel driver updating tool but it told me everything is up to date.

I also ran Driver Agent Plus, which tells me 3 drivers are out of date(Sata AHCI controller, audio device, Intel chipset family thermal subsystem) and wants me to pay to update them (how about no) but I can't manually find the drivers.

Now finally, for the juicy part, I ran memtest and it told me I had a hardware issue. Problem is, I have trouble believing it seeing that I can run on safemode with no issues and I was playing BF1 on max everything a few days ago.

Anyone have any tips? Could it be something else? The way my mobo interacts with the ram? Or something else?


Edit: Some juicy dump files for you guys

I updated to the most recent non beta BIOS and updated as many mobo drivers as I could before I crashed.

Also, now my computer is giving me a bios in safe mode too -
Non paged file in non paged location.

Just tried, got another different BSOD this time.

System Service exception.


To add something I overlooked, when I start my computer it will start up, shut down, start up, shutdown, around 3 or so times before it actually boots up.

Not at the moment, but in a attempt to diagnose, I tried using the two sticks of ram both alone, and in different spots.

One of the ram refuses to allow the comptuer to boot at all, and the motherboard gives me a memory failure code.

The other boots and I can use the computer, but I get a occasional BSOD

The last two messages were
Driver IRQL not less or equal
And another one said intelppm.sys failed

Is it possible that when I was updating drivers/doing stuff with the two ram set up(one of them being trash) that I corrupted more files on the system?
