Hey guys, I am losing sleep over this issue with my new rig. My computer randomly Locks up and I have to hard reset it while gaming. The issue has only happened while gaming.

Troubleshooting so far:
I replaced my Corsair CX750m psu with a Corsair 850RMi, as I suspected I might have a bad PSU. I have ran a Memory test and passed. Updated all drivers possible. I ran Prime95 blend test, and it locks up within 20 minutes while all 4 ram slots and used. I removed the 4th stick and ran the blend test again, it proceeded to run for 4 hours with no crashes. I am currently running prime95 blend test with only the suspected bad stick in and It has not locked up yet. As a side note the XMP profile for the RAM does not work...



Specs:
Corsair RMi850 PSU
ASRock Tiachi Z270
i7 7700k Delidded @ stock Clocks
GeiL Evo X 32gb DDR4 @ 4 x 8GB Sticks 3000
MSI GTX Afterburner 970/ upgrading to GTX 1080TI when it arrives.
