Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Thanks everyone for the replies, I'm on W10 to clear that up.
At this point, I have not crashed and I'm pretty sure it was a (sometimes?) faulty stick of RAM.
I had done the overnight memtest on both sticks, together and individually, and all passed. I actually did the individual test twice...
I've done fully clean installs with freshly downloaded drivers 3 times, and I've passed my RAM through memtest.
I guess I should just contact corsair and/or get it replaced and see if it still happens, regardless of the sticks passing?
