Okay so my specs;

i7 4790k
EVGA GTX 970 ACX 2.0 SC
8GB of Corsair Vengeance
Corsair AX750W Gold PSU

(Everything is at stock)

Literally everything is brand new (RAM was supplied from corsair recently via RMA) Mobo + CPU + GPU bought about a month ago. The only thing I can think of that has changed since I setup was the fact I reapplied my thermal paste yesterday. However... I spent a good 16 hours~ with not a single issue (I also just loosened my CPU cooler to be 100% sure it's not pressing too hard).

The BSOD states "Memory Management" but this from a quick search could be possibly RAM CPU or GPU related if I'm not mistaken?
 
1A could possibly be a bad stick of memory. Try running memtest.

Are you sure it was 24 and not 124. If it was 124 it can be vcore/SA/IO voltage related.
 
Definitely 24. Will run memtest after this scan has finished... Guess it's time to boot up the 360 and watch more netflix. To me after using it for however long after I changed the paste. This seems like quite literal onset and sudden. I hope it's not a RAM issue... That would be sad after RMA'ing.

What temps are your CPU achieving after you applied new TIM?

Significantly lower than before (I had to apply TIM remove my cooler and didnt have alcohol to clean it up) I don't breach 50C generally (under IBT I hit 70 but... I never use anything as intensive as that... and these BSODs happened during watching stuff online/playing hearthstone.)
 
Did the problems appear soon after the newly applied TIM?

If so what cooler have you got strapped onto the CPU? If it's a monolith with tight fixings you may want to try loosening the heatsink as this can sometimes cause memory errors due to the MB warping around the memory slots as the big coolers can really put pressure on this area if fitted too tightly or just a smidgen out of alignment...

Well I spent 12-16 hours yesterday without a hiccup (applied new TIM in the morning) I have loosened my Alpenfohn K2 a bit (after the second 1A BSOD) but then got the 24 just after. Currently just virus scanning then going to run check disk + memtest to cover all the bases I can.
 
Sounds like you've virtually isolated the problem - have you tested each stick separately and in different slots?
