New builder having a some big issues

[Shaded]

I am a fairly new builder, its been over a decade since I last built a PC so its save to say I am a little green.

Everything went together alright with no issues, however now that it is all put together and windows is up and running I have been getting a windows blue screen almost daily. Been trying to do some troubleshooting until today when it crashed and it boots right into a blue-green. Different error everytime it seems. The PC has only been together for a week and doesn't have much on it. From what I have read this can be due to faulty drivers or corrupted memory. Anyone here got any ideas of what I can try? I am not sure what to do at this point sort of maybe RMAing the memory and hopefully that resolved it.

@Shaded have you ran memtest86 yet? If not, run it and see if you have any errors. If so, try downclocking the memory with XMP (for example, with XMP on, manually set the frequency down a step from the advertised one).

 

What components are you using btw?

If you have any other ram that is compatible with your pc you could try that to check if the ram is a problem. You could try a new install of windows.

@Lemon797 Sadly I don't have any other RAM around that I can use short of ordering some more. If I have to I will just do a fresh install.

 

@Hymenopus_Coronatus I haven't ran that yet. Setting up my laptop to put it on a USB now. As for the memory, it was already downclocked (its been at 2300MHz since my bios update. Was holding off setting it to what it was rated at tull the bluescreens got resolved) Here are my specs:

CPU: Core i7 8700k

RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB pro (4×8GB) 3600MHz

Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix Z390-E

Bootdrive: Samsung 970 Evo NVMe M.2

Graphics: EVGA GTX 1080 (moved over from my old machine, 2 in SLI)

Could you try with just 2 sticks? I'm not sure if that'll do anything, but it may be worth a try

So I was using Asus's AI auto overclocking, I disabled that and I was able to boot to windows. I am downloading memtest86 on my laptop. At least for the time being I am back in windows. I will update once the test is done. Really appreciate the help so far.

It took six and a half hours but I did a full scan with memtest86 and it gave me 0 errors. I am some what at a loss as to what was causing it. It seems like the AI overclocking was causing instabilities although it was running fine for almost a week. I will run it without AI overclocking for now, any other ideas what it might have been? I know it's probably an open ended question, but any insight is appreciated.
