Need advice regarding new ram and bsods

[Jonathan Souter]

Hey guys, 

 

I built a computer about 3 months ago with 8gb of ram, and I recently bought a second kit to help out with photoshop and premiere, but I have started to get regular blue screens after running higher performance apps for extended periods of time (usually 2-4 hours, but sometimes less). The two kits are the same model ( Corsair vengeance pro ddr3 2x4gb @ 1600mhz ) and I purchased them from the same supplier, so I feel like the issues related to mismatched memory shouldn't apply. 

I simply took the ram out of the box and stuck them in the motherboard when I installed them, so I'm wondering if there's something bios side that I missed. Does anyone have any advice as to what I should do to troubleshoot? 
 

Part List:

ASUS Z97-A Motherboard

Intel Core i5 4690

Corsair Vengeance Pro CMY8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3

Seagate Barracuda 1TB ST1000DM003

Corsair CX-500 Modular 80+ Bronze Power Supply

ASUS GeForce GTX 970 Strix DirectCU II 4GB

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO

 

Thanks!
