Hello, I've just build a new computer. Everything starts and gets to the main windows screen, however at a certain point some happens where I get BSOD.

These are the names on those BSOD Screen:
IRQL_NO_LESS_EQUAL
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA
KERNAL_FAILED_SECUITY_CHECK


Most of these seems to be related to RAM. I did however do chkdsk.
I ran Memtest and in the first run it gave me 2 errors. then afterwards things got confusing.

I ran memtest on slot 1 with stick#1 -> no errors
I ran memtest on sl0t 1 with stick#2 -> no errors

I ran memtest on slot 2 with stick#1 -> no erros
I ran memtest on slot 2 with stick#2 -> no erros

Currently I'm running Memtest again on both stick and after 4 passes still no error.

Now has Memtest given me a curve ball? or is something other than RAM causing this BSOD.

Few thing to note:
I've tried a complete reinstall of Windows 10 3 times.
I've checked my drivers under the device manager.
New RAM is on it's way

Few things that are worrying:
I'm past my date where I can return Mobo and CPU.
The other dates are approaching, and considering returning what I can should issue not be resolved.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I would be inclined to believe memtest. Apparently, there was an error during one pass that would indicate a faulty stick of memory. Memtest is pretty trustworthy.

Just like the BSOD, the error doesn't always occur. I've got a set of 4x4GB Corsair that gives me the same BSOD issue... again, it's now and then. I've isolated it to one stick that passes memtest most of the time, but not always.
Sometimes simply raising the memory voltage a tad can correct it. Sometimes, not.
