I have just checked the compatibility with your motherboard and the sticks you have according to your specs and I noticed I should have done this way earlier..
It seems the memory isn't supported for your motherboard.
You can check the compatibility if you want here
I have filled in:
Select manufacturer: Giga-byte
Select product-line: Giga-byte motherboard
Select model: GA-X58A-UD3R
I actually just got this RAM a couple of days ago because my system was running out of RAM space while playing Just Cause 3. I guess I can return it and get the 4GBx2 kit because that seems compatible.
So I recently got some new ram which is compatible with my motherboard and I haven't had any BSOD's for a while, but today I got two BSOD's saying something about a critical error. I don't remember what I was doing the first time it crashed, but the second time I was away from my computer and I only had spotify open.
Thats funny because my computer did crash, and it crashed again twice more today. However, the computer froze during both of the blue screen. My computer never finished its blue-screen and restarted itself. I got a photo of what screen my computer was stuck at.

The first blue screen was because of "UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION" and the second blue screen was "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED".
A third test for the hard drive, but this is with another program that gives more details about the health (S.M.A.R.T, Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) status of the hard drive.
A hard drive can fail even when there are no problems detected by chkdsk, and SeaTools, this is caused by something in the S.M.A.R.T.
Run HDTune to
- scan for errors, no quick scan but full scan
- check the health,
- benchmark.
It may take some time, but please take the time you need to perform it properly.
Let me know what the results are
- of the error scan,
- make a screenshot of the health of every hard drive and post the screenshots,
- post screenshots with the benchmark of the
- transfer rate,
- access time,
- burst rate,
- cpu usage.
So I did the tests. For my ssd, my computer came up with that "critical process died" bsod every time i tried to run the error and benchmark scan, so i had to take out my ssd and run the tests on it using my laptop.
Here are the results

although it says "Segate USB" its actually my sandisk ssd
Huh? The tests that say "segate USB" are actually my SSD. I used the cable from an old segate external harddrive to run the tests on my SSD using my laptop, which is why it says "segate USB" instead of saying that it is my sandisk ssd. However, if you think the reason i can't run the tests on my ssd from my desktop is that the cable is bad, I'll go ahead and change the sata cable attached to my ssd and re-run the tests, now from my desktop.
So it was the sata cable. I replaced the cable with an extra I had lying around, and here are the tests on my ssd from inside my desktop:
