BSOD Problem. Could use some advice.

Some obvious questions: do you have enough cooling for your rig? Are Temps good on your cpu, your gpu? Did you put your ram in the right channel? Some mobos require a specific channel set up if you're only using 2 sticks. Are you using the same ram brand for each stick? Are you using any 3rd party tools when playing ffxiv, like ds3, and if so what are they? Are their drivers updated? Seems to me that if assets aren't loading, it's a memory issue, and if you're getting bsod, it's either a memory leak or a driver fail.

I'm sure I have ample cooling since it can most of the time play for 12+ hours with no failures. This just began to BSOD this morning once and hasn't happened again yet. All 4 sticks are the same ram so I believe they are on the same channel and should be alright as well. You may be right about the memory leak because when I get the BSOD it says memory dumping.. etc.

Ram is hard to diagnose, but the easiest solution is to go back to your old build and see if it blue screens. If not, it's your ram. Ram doesn't have compatibility issues, unless you're using a higher grade on a mobo that doesn't support it (which, I'm fairly confident won't even load your OS if that's the case). Memory leak can be a few things, but all signs are pointing to the only thing you've recently changed: your ram. Good luck!
