Little update, switched out the RAM for some a new set and everything seems to be going smoothly two days in a row. Looks like I got unlucky with some bad RAM.

Okay, I just crashed again. That rules out the Motherboard I guess. Time to switch out the PSU...

New Mboard arrived this morning, replaced it and have it has been smooth sailing all day. I'll give another couple of days to see if I get any crashes. If not, I can conclude that I had a faulty motherboard.

I have an older lower wattage PSU that I could test it with. If I still get crashes when I replace the motherboard, I will look at testing the PSU. PSU stress tests didnt bring up any issues, however.

I have tried swapping the GFX card between PCIe slots, this didn't make any difference. I also only have one stick of RAM (16GB Dual Rank) in slot 4 on the Motherboard. I tried switching the RAM between the slots to see if it made a difference but it didn't so I have just left it back in slot 4 where it should be. In terms of lights on the motherboard, there are only the ones during booting up the PC. It cycles through the LEDs (Amber, Red, Green, White) then boots up as normal. A few times when it crashed it would hang on the Amber (RAM) light and would not boot until I turned it off completely for a few minutes. This is what made me try a Memtest originally but it all came up clear with no errors so I was puzzled with it. I have had someone else who had the same crash issues as me (They described the exact types of crashes I was having) say that their problem was also with the motherboard and they had to replace it. I think i'm going to order a replacement and see if it makes any difference. Maybe I just got unlucky with a faulty Motherboard. Thanks for the help and i'll get back to you if i'm still having issues.

The crashes will either freeze the computer completely and get stuck, forcing my to manually restart the computer or it will sometimes restart instantly after a crash. It did BSOD once with an error regarding "Memory Management" But I haven't seen that BSOD since then after completely reinstalling everything. The two recent crashes, the computer would just freeze up and it would be stuck on a blue screen with a loud noise playing.

It is a single stick of 16 RAM. I overclocked it and it seemed to make no difference in terms of crashes. The RAM are currently on the default un-overclocked settings. Other than that, I left everything else at the default settings. Nothing else is overclocked that I am aware of.

No helpful information at all in event viewer after a crash. Crashes are seemingly random but seem to occur more frequently when playing a game. It has only crashed a single time while idling on the desktop. I should point out this is a new build, and all parts were bought new. The crashes will either freeze the computer completely and get stuck, forcing my to manually restart the computer or it will sometimes restart instantly after a crash. I haven't really noticed a pattern to this.
