and some cable sleeving if the client wants it. That's what I've got.
Buy one of these and watch this video.
Here is a good tester. It's prime as well!

Do you have a PSU tester by chance?
My first recommendation would be to remove any overclocking. From your post it doesn't look like you have any overclock applied so the next step is to rule out heat. Immediately after bluescreen try to get in to the bios to view the hardware monitor portion of the bios. Another option is a real-time monitoring software solution (speedfan or preferably a utility made by your motherboard manufacturer if eligible) If the CPU temp is > 75 degrees Celsius it could be a thermal issue.
If temperatures seem normal the next easiest thing to test is the ram using a utility such as memtest86(comes as bootable iso or flash drive image). Some people recommend running multiple tests multiple times but in my experience any memory errors usually materialize within the first hour or so. I would run it about twice as long as it usually takes your computer to blue screen.
If it passes all the tests the issue could be software related. If the test reports errors it is your ram. You can try to determine which stick by inserting one stick at a time and rerunning the tests.
If your computer crashes/hangs during the memtest, good news! Your problem is definitely hardware related and not a software issue. Based on the randomness of the bluescreen, my bet is on the power supply. I would try to swap it out with a known-good PSU. If you are unable to obtain one that is known-good I would bring the power supply to a local computer repair shop and ask them to plug it in to their tester. If that is not an option I would recommend buying your own. Cheap and a handy gadget to have around.
If you've made it this far through the trouble shooting steps I would guess that you've found the source of your problems but if these steps don't sort it out reply here and I'd be happy to help you further.
Make sure you're running straight PCI-E power with no adapters. I would also invest in a PSU tester (http://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Digital-Supply-Tester-RTK-PST/dp/B004Q7FUGM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1411568024&sr=8-3&keywords=psu+tester) to make sure it tests out.
Check other things, dust in the slot can be blown out with compressed air. Update your motherboard BIOS as well, some new cards are needing an an update to work properly.
I would bet it's just a dusty slot or an older BIOS.
hey bromego, czech your power supply. and get one of de's niggas to do it with http://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Digital-Supply-Tester-RTK-PST/dp/B004Q7FUGM/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1381368701&sr=8-7&keywords=power+supply+tester
