Seems like I may have corrupt ram, been getting a lot of blue screens that quickly reboot, the only thing i have caught is something about memory so I thought it might be corrupt. How do I check that?
 
Hey AdamW,
Welcome to T.F.!!


Usually blue screens means, bad memory, so to check that go to Memtest86.com - Memory Diagnostic

Over there, download the latest version ISO image. Then burn the ISO on to a CD. And then you boot off the CD, and the memtest program will run automatically. This will scan your RAM, for errors. If it detects a lot of errors, than it is bad memory.

edit: Run it for a good couple of hours, like hefemeister said.
