Maximus VIII extreme several BSOD

Hello

I've been having issues with my desktop for a week or so with it blue screening randomly I've tried most of the recommendations found when googling the blue screens error codes and have ran memtest86 on the ram for a full 8 cycles with no issues the motherboard is a brand new replacement of the last one which completely broke down so I'm not sure if there is a problem with one of the other components all drivers are up to date as far as I'm aware. the motherboard does have Q51 as its Qcode while the system is running which according to the manual says "memory initialisation error. invalid memory type or incompatible memory speed" the ram is on the qualified vendors list and the qcode is sometimes a different number that is not listed in the manual. the PC behaves normally in otherwise and has not been overclocked.

thanks in advance for any help

system spec
CPU: Intel 6700k
Ram: corsair vengeance 4 x 8GB (cmk32gx4m4b3000c15)
GPU: ROG matrix platinum 980 ti

as far as I'm aware they are i spent quite a while checking them to see if they where all up to date because that was one of the common things that would come up as a solution but i might have missed some obscure one

Is the BIOS with default settings no OC? What Windows version do you have? Are you able to update Windows and Nvidia drivers?

Bios is default no oc of any kind running Windows 10 and after reinstalling windows 10 again I updated windows and nvidia drivers pc is definitely more stable than when that message came up as it was bsod every five minutes or so when that message was coming up and a lot of programs wouldn't launch*

That is glad to hear. Your PC is doing fine-stable now after updating Windows and NVidia drivers. So the error that you shared with us is resolved?

So I left the room and come back my computer has rebooted and then hung on the starting splash screen where you can select to go into bios with q code 99 and the oc panel saying vga turning the computer off and then on again it looked like it was going to hang in the same place but then booted windows but the display port screen did not load up only the hdmi screen and it did not load up in the correct resolution upon checking I found it had bsod while I was out of the room and that the and it says critical process died also when I checked dxdiag it says there is a problem with nvidia geforce gtx 980 ti device for more information search for graphic device error code 52 this happened before and I'm still not sure what's causing it.
