Recently added 4Gb of G-skill ram to my system for a total of 8Gb and it ran fine for a day. I made sure that the timings and voltages for the ram were the same and ran memtest with no errors.​

I was playing game when all of a sudden I got hit with a bsod. I ran memtest again with no errors. Tried extensive troubleshooting and it seems it might be something wrong with the 1st two ram slots.​

I tried 1 stick in the first slot and it ran fine, then removing that stick and placing it in the 2nd slot and still the same results. When I try putting two sticks in the 1st two slots at the same time, is when I get bsod when the window logo appears.​

I can only run the computer fine when i have the third and fourth slot filled up, and either having the 1st or 2nd slot installed. I can't have slot 1 or 2 installed at the same time it seems.​

I'm just wondering if anyone had this kind of problem before and any help would be appreciated. Sorry if the explanation is confusing.​

I'm sure all the ram is fine, just the mobo i​

I think you need to look at the MB manual to see how the sticks should be installed. Maybe using the first 2 slots isnt the right way and you need to use slot 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 when using 2 sticks .......

you should update your bios. And then probably re-install your OS.
