If it's not a bad driver, double check your RAM using MemTest86. I've had bad memory pass the Windows Memory Diagnostic, but fail MemTest86.
I've had memory pass both but fail while running Prime95 inside Windows within a couple of minutes. This was actually a known incompatibility between certain flavors of RAM on P55 motherboards. In my case, the suffix on Crucial DIMMs actually mattered. The OP can't even get into Windows, but maybe something like Parted Magic environment has some diagnostics he could try while running a stress tester.
ETA: Those were matched DIMMs bought at the same time. This was such an oddball problem. I had the same issue this guy blogged about, and in fact, this is where I got my answer back in 2009:

It wasn't just Crucial DIMMs that were affected, but for them, the CT25664BA1339.16FF was magic, while CT25664BA1339.M16SFD was unreliable in Windows under Prime95 while passing Memtest86+ and the other one all day long.

If the machine runs fine with both sets of 16 in the first two slots, I’d give up and replace the mainboard especially if I were still running B350.
