Multiple RAM Failures.

I'll just start off with I don't need any help and not looking to waste time, so if you don't want a story you can ignore this.

Basically two months ago I had an FX-8350, 2x8GB 1866Mhz HyperX Fury RAM, Gigabyte 990FX Motherboard system. For unknown reasons, half of both sticks failed and I was left with 8GB hardware reserved RAM, and I have since returned it and have been approved warranty, and have a replacement in the mail. However, I have since upgraded to a 2700X with 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance PRO RGB 3600Mhz RAM, Crosshair VI Hero Motherboard and less than THIRTY DAYS into my build, the computer started crashing randomly and eventually I looked for the problem, and BAM 8 GB hardware reserved, EXACTLY the same problem. Please note, this was a completely fresh windows install so it's not a windows issue.

 

What I am wondering though if it might be some software I'm using, or if I'm just the unluckiest person in the world right now. If anyone has had this specific issue feel free to share, otherwise please take pity on me. The gaming gods have clearly abandoned me.

Only overclocking I ever did was to the CPU, in both systems. I did, however "Overclock" the ram to the 3600Mhz rated speed because the board was only automatically pushing it to 2400. I used Auto voltage settings, and didn't have the issue for at least the first two weeks. In the case of the older FX system, I never touched the RAM because it just ran at 1866 without me having to do anything.
