The good news is one of your minidumps actually gave us a definitive cause of tof your issue: memory corruption.
Why this is good news is because another error is 0x124 and they are extremely difficult to work with because they can be any piece of hardware in your system and it takes all kinds of work to try to find the problem. I've seen IT professionals write that they don't like working with this error.
Anyway, run memtest on your memory.
See the link below and follow the instructions. There is a newer version than what is listed but either one should work. If you need to see what the Memtest screen looks like go to reply #21. The third screen is the Memtest screen.
Let it run for a LONG time. The rule is a minimum of 7 Passes; the more Passes after 7 so much the better. There are 8 individual tests per Pass. Many people will start this test before going to bed and check it the next day.
If you have errors you have corrupted memory and it needs to be replaced.
Also, with errors you need to run this test per stick of RAM. Take out one and run the test. Then take that one out and put the other in and run the test. If you start getting errors before 7 Passes you know that stick is corrupted and you don’t need to run the test any further on that stick.

Alright thank you.
I will just do 1 stick tonight and keep going for 4 days to be sure which is the issue.
I have the newest memtest and have used it before it shouldn't be hard.
Damn this sucks.. Took like 2 days testing the North bridge voltages on my mobo
to finally get these 4 sticks stable on my rig with windows 7.
I'll come back in a weeks time or before that and let you know how things went.
Thanks Again man for the help really appreciate it.

Ok so I ran each stick independently and all together.
Then tried ver 1.5 and ver 4.1 sets in each dual channel
then swapped between the sets on the other channels.
Every test comes back with 8+ passes no errors.
Thank god for brother in laws that pull all nighters ^^
Still in search of whats wrong.
Only thing I can remotely consider is that my ver 1.5 and my ver 4.1
sets don't like each other but thats about it and if this is so why no bsod before?

I believe that is an Asus motherboard. Is your memory listed on the Asus Quality Vendors List (QVL) for your motherboard model? Asus creates a QVL for each and every motherboard model they manufacturer. Asus boards are also very picky about the RAM installed on their boards.
Yes its on there QVL
Yes its at the correct voltages.
I down clocked the memory to run at 800mhz cause the memory controller
is very picky to stay stable at 1066 and have all four sticks.
2 sticks at 800 or 1066 work just fine never had issues ever.
Like I said i think the different ver. has to be the issue here.
I have a case # with cosair and I will try to convince them
to take all 4 sticks and get them to send me 2x 2gb sticks so I have no issues.

Yes, there was certainly this issue especially between Corsair and Asus motherboards at the time. Again, thanks for the update.
