running tf2 and bc2 simultaneously to try to stress my system and see if overheating is the problem :\
Or you could just put it in the oven if you want to overheat it

Yeah, I mean, it just doesn't seem right
I know you're trying to find out if it's overheating, but overheating it on purpose will just add to your problems and give you a false positive.

run mem test.
check the next two. run mem test.
eventually you'll get the stick that is bad.
unfortunately is could be a while running then swapping them. but it's a good idea to do it and find the bad stick.
*or try one at a time if your ram isn't crappy and can load windoes on 1 stick. lol

because i'd assume you'd want to still be able to load windoes and post the success/fail?
use one stick and you'll find the bad ram.
if memtest doesnt run on one stick but the others, there's your problem.
