    Hi, guys.

    Some updates: because of those many BSOD, I've downloaded and run a MemTest and the results shown one of DIMM is faulty.

    I will change them and I hope the problem is solved :)

    I'll keep you informed.

    Yes, I tested the memories individually.

    MB has 4 slots, 2 in pair. Corresponding to MB specification for dual channel memory, I have to use slot 1 and 3. So I've checked the second slot, by testing the good RAM in it, having good result too.

    First memory in first slot - good
    Second memory in first slot - a lot of errors

    First memory in second slot - good

    So, it's clear the second memory is bad, no need to test it further.
