Second Opinion on BSOD?

What cooler are you using? There has been in the past issues where these have been over tightened and coursed issues.

Another option, which is a pain is to check the CPU socket for bent pins.
 
Nick: have checked all the connections etc and a second sata cable seems to be doing the same thing

RJC: I'm not actually what it's model is as its been with me a while now, it does screw on to the motherboard with a bracket - maybe I should loosen it and see if that might do anything, after the issues I took the whole thing apart again and put it back together and did check for bent pins when i did that and all seemed clear.

It's the other thing that makes me lean towards memory, i would have though a CPU issue would present itself much quicker?
 
Try loosening the cooler a fraction.

But it may be worth raising a RMA for the ram, but outline the issues your having, as mentioned previous my socket 1366 build was a nightmare, had two lots of faulty memory, the 2nd lot did not show up on Mem-Test.
 
I will loosen it a bit and see if anything changes, I have actually ordered a second (different) set of memory today for delivery tomorrow, if they have the same issue it isn't the end of the world to have an extra 16gb of ddr4 lying around, will always find somewhere to use it.

Thanks for advice
 
Just to update the nice peeps helping out, have been let down by a certain next day delivery service and have been told not only will the new memory not come today but could be up to two days late, have sent a very eggy e-mail too them but this doesn't change the frustration of not being able to do much tonight to move forward with this.
