Ok, if you could post your BIOS settings it would help....either take photos of the screens or just write them down and type them in, also if you could note any of the BSOD Error messages, not the whole page just the # and descriptor......if working and getting random BSODs i.e. not linked to any particular application it may be a driver that's out of date.

As for the BSOD's, they come on the screen and are gone in less than 5 seconds when the computer resets and reboots, so I don't have time to get any numbers or anything.
Thanks again.

Thank you 007. That did the trick. And it wasn't too long after I followed your instructions that I got the last BSOD that I will post here. The only thing I see that I remotely understand (simply from reading this thread) is that there is something wrong with my memory because it says "Memory Management" at the top.
Anyone, please take a look at the attached photo I took and let me know what I need to do. Remember, I am like a kindergartner when it comes to this stuff and need easy to follow, step by step instructions. If I need to take a photo of the Bios, I will try that too.
Thanks again.

As been stated before, the ripjaw series just does not work well with the EVO motherboard. I also have the M4A87TD Evo board and have had problems with every single gskill ram that I've put in it. I've even RMA'd it and I've had the same instability/bsod/freezing errors. I know for a fact that this is a compatibility issue between this specific motherboard and gskill ram as I have purchased corsair 4gb ddr3 1600 ram and it has worked 100% flawlessly without a single crash since.
Sort of sucks that I spent $100 on ram that is now sitting on my desk doing absolutely nothing but hell, the headache I went through trying to troubleshoot it was all solved by forking up $47.99 to amazon for their corsair ddr3-1600 4gb kit.

Thanks for the input.

The EVO is maybe one of the hardest mobos to deal with as far as DRAM goes, if you google like ASUS EVO RAM PROBLEMS you'll find Corsair, Kingston, Crucial, Mushkin and more in addition to GSkill

You know how they say "Assumption is the Mother of all Screw Ups" (edited in case profanity is against the terms of service here) I assumed that since my MOBO said it supported 12800 memory, that this G. Skill would work. The last thing I want to do is pull out my 8gigs of RAM I spent $99 on and have to replace it and have nothing to do with the original RAM, but if it stops the errors, I guess I will have no choice. I refuse to send it back to Newegg and have them charge me a 15% restocking fee. Maybe I can sell it on Ebay.
Thanks for the input.
and yes, i've ran memtest on every stick. ran into no problems with memtest and the windows memory diagnostic tool. something super fishy is just going on between the EVO board and Gskill/ocz ram (those two are the biggest problem causers in terms of the EVO board from my research). I feel like Asus and Gskill+OCZ need to re-do some tests or get in contact with each other and sort of bring up this issue.

Everyone also needs to keep in mind that when they run test on 'their' mobos, it's done w/ top of the line CPU, which, especially w/ AMD boards, means the CPU w/ the strongest MC. Just because a mobo advertises it can run 1800-2000 DRAM, you still have to have the CPU that can push those sticks and the PSU to power it...not to mention the skills to OC and run the sticks at that speed, because many of the mobo makers aren't really going to be of much help.

Didn't say that it did, was simply pointing out how testing is done. Two many people look at a mobo specs and see it's rated to for fast DRAM 1800-2000+ and just expect to be able to run it with any CPU which isn't going to happen. If you look at AMDs own specs, even the Thuban's are only rated up to 1333

In the case here, when paired w/ a problematic mobo, things just get harder and harder i.e. the 965 C handles 1600 ok but the earlier 965, basically not at all
