Whenever I enabled the XMP profile for my memory, my system will experience random blue screen crashes (BCCode 124). These crashes are difficult to reproduce as I am still able to run stress tests like Prime95 for over 12 hours and memory tests show no errors after a similar amount of time but I have never been able to go more than a week without a BSOD with XMP enabled. For comparison I turned XMP off and was able to go for 3 weeks without a BSOD before I started trying to enable the XMP profile again.
The RAM I am currently using is a Crucial kit specified to tested to run at 1866 9-9-9-27:

http://gskill.com/en/product/f3-1866c9d-16gxmI have already performed an RMA for both the motherboard and CPU with no improvement. My motherboard is a MAXIMUS V GENE (Revision 1.01) and I am using the latest BIOS (1903). My CPU is an Intel Core i7-3770K. My system has never been overclocked and temperatures look good. My bios settings are all at default except that I have XMP and virtualisation technology enabled. I am running Windows 8.1 64bit in native UEFI mode.
I was really hoping that all I had to do was enable XMP but I suspect that I need to change some bios settings in order to be stable. Unfortunately tech support from the memory and motherboard manufacturers has provided no useful information. I am currently testing with XMP and Maximus Tweak Mode 1 enabled to see if that helps. I would really appreciate some advice and help troubleshooting this problem if anyone has any ideas.
