Run memtest86+ and if it gets a error then stop and replace that DIMM. If not swap DIMMs and test again. Either that or continue to use as you are now and if no problems after a week, replace the one not installed.
BSOD Driver Overran Stack Buffer, comes at random times.

if it was that simple i would lol, anyway i checked both sticks individually, first stick zero errors, no notes, 2nd stick, no errors, 1 note, Your RAM may be vulnerable to high frequency row hammer bit flips. However the conditions needed to induce these errors occur only very rarely in normal PC usage, and so this should not be of concern to most users.
so, does that mean there is some other problem? or should i have run 8 passes rather than 4? here is the file from the test of the 2nd stick, i swapped back to the first stick which had no errors or notes and will see how it goes, could be my ram is ok but my motherboard is shot, i dunno, ideas?

Run with 4GB as you are now for a week or two. If no BSOD then add the other 4GB. See what happens.
It's possible removing and reinserting the ram has fixed the problem by removing some corrosion from the pins. May not be visible to the naked eye.

i run 2 sticks of 8, but yeah i was going to do that anyway, see how it goes, so far no blue screen, so hopefully all is well.

so, i was running one stick, got a new motherboard so i replaced my old one to see if it was the problem, put in both sticks, only cost me 114 so, all good, but now, rather than blue screening, it just seems to reboot with no errors apart from looking in the event viewer where it says the reboot was unexpected.. what do i do now? swap back the motherboards, remove the ram again, i'm totally at a loss now.

well, i installed the motherboard without reinstalling, and when i started having the problems, i just did a reinstall, i'll let it run and see how we go, if it crashes again, then i will deff know this time the ram is the problem, and not the motherboard.

really strange errors now, swapped motherboards, and now, i have had 2 blue screens, but before the system can generate the crash dump the whole system just turns off, i got no idea why, as i can't look at any crash dumps at all, running 2 sticks of ram still, but if it was the memory, wouldn't i just be getting the normal memory management crash?
