If the hardware fault is caused by only one specific process (Steam) then uninstall/reinstall it. Reinstall/overwrite all dependencies (stuff like Microsoft Redistributables, etc) while you're at it - at worst you fix the broken program and break some other program, lol, but at least Steam wouldn't continue to crash Q-Code 8 onto you.
Or run Steam in some kind of VM (or even in Sandboxie, it can run in Win10 and is easy to configure/operate and offers a "free" version)."All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others." - Douglas Adams

Well now that I know for sure that my RAM is not the issue, I can set it back to 3200MHz. I guess I can reinstall Steam and download a ~20GB+ to see if that works. I hope it does otherwise I might have to think harder about upgrading to a C6E. Again thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it.

Iv been getting crashes with code 8 a lot . Every single time it happens when either i have a lot of tabs open on chrome or im working on a big part in solidworks so that leads me to believe its a ram issue. Also when it happens the fans start pulsing on a off. I have 2 sticks TridentZ F4-3200C16D-16GTZR . Cant figure out how to fix the problem.

For the past month I have been suddenly getting the error code 8 crash too. It only happens in BF1. No other application. Specifically it will happen in-between games, in the game lobby. Not in the actual game itself when all the hardware is being utilized. I have reinstalled the game with no luck. I also just reformatted my PC a couple months ago to solve other issues, but this "8" error is driving me crazy. I just noticed a new official BIOS was released (1701). I'm about to reflash and reinstall windows again.

Any chance you are running that SSD on m2?
And maybe also have the samsung nvme driver?
I upgraded from sata ssd to m2 ssd few days ago. Cloned it and started up fine few times. After I installed the samsung specific NVMe driver I would get lock ups issues mostly at windows boot. (never checked for any q-code though)
It however took like 2 restarts after uninstalling (rolling back) the driver, to have the issues dissapear.
Might be completely unrelated, but you might want to uninstall any Samsung NVMe driver if you have one, just to try. And just stick with the default microsoft one.

I do just so happen to be running a 960 EVO but my problem started happening with a Crucial MX100, I replaced it with a 960 EVO after reading up on some OPAL errors that came up in event viewer and thinking it was the cause.

An update I guess
As an update to this little mystery, I've since gotten fed up with my C6H and took a gamble on getting a new motherboard. And it seems to have paid off, I now have Crosshair VI Extreme and a fresh install of Windows 10 (build 1709). So far so good, I've tested for the fault by downloading 30GB+ of games and no issues yet.
As for the C6H, I've decide to turn it into a 5GHz or bust chip exploder, with a Ryzen 3 1300X and Athlon X4 950 as my victims. Being turned non-essential toy, the issue shouldn't really bother me as much and I can afford to be a bit more aggressive with triggering the issue to troubleshoot it, assuming the issue persists despite a complete overhaul on the C6H's hardware. Hopefully, if the issue still remains, I can finally figure out the cause once and for all and take appropriate measures (i.e. RMA). If the issue disappears then I guess I had bad luck/combo.
I will be able to start tinkering with the C6H later this week, I'll post here again with my findings from the new C6H setup (the RAM will be DomPlats 2x4GB @ 3000MHz CL15, we'll see if that changes anything).
