Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

You have omitted the most important part of the information...what was the stop message on the BSOD ?

You also need to run Memtest properly for it to have any credance. One pass is nowhere near enough.

Memtest86+        http://www.memtest.org/

Insert one stick of memory in slot 1 and run Memtest on it for at least 10 loops and if there are no errors then swap it over with the next one and continue untill you have checked all  modules.
 
If you have any errors the module is faulty.

If you have any faulty modules you will have to return the whole kit as they are matched.

Post back when you have done that with the results.

The BSOD:

bugcheck was: 0x000000c2 (0x0000000000000007, 0x0000000000001097, 0x0000000000000000, 0xfffffa800e32ab00)

bugcheck was: 0x0000007e (0xffffffffc0000005, 0xfffff88001795dac, 0xfffff880033c2f58, 0xfffff880033c27c0)

 bugcheck was: 0x00000023 (0x00000000000e00e6, 0xfffff88003de6618, 0xfffff88003de5e80, 0xfffff88000ff0493)

 bugcheck was: 0x0000001e (0xffffffffc0000005, 0xfffff880070452c0, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000)

These are the main ones.  I will start on the memory.

Usually associated with driver conflicts. Try removing any hardware drivers that you have recently installed and then make sure Windows is fully updated along with any of the motherboard drivers before reinstalling the rest of the drivers. Sometimes associated with Nero.

I will look at drives again.  I installed the latest motherboard drivers and video driver.  I will check the other drivers.

Also when I installed my memory I installed the first 8G in slot 1 and 2 the second set of 8G in slot 3 and 4.  Should that have been 1 and 3 for the first set and 2 and 4 for the next set.

I will unplug all of the USB devices and see what happens.

Thanks for your help
