So now I got a bluescreen with my second RAM in channel 2. I did some tests because the mentioned Mhz counts are really weird. I don't know how to make a table here, so an image:

I guess the Mhz isn't any important for my problem, it's just when you put a single RAM stick in, that you have to do it in slot 1 or 3, not 2 or 4, because when I put both in at the same time (bottom of the table) it had the normal mhz. So my test with RAM 2 in slot 2 isn't any relevant since it was tested with wrong mhz.
Now since I made the test, does this prove that atleast one of my RAM sticks is defect / broken and so my mainboard is fine and I need to get new RAM? HackBenjamin told me after analysing my crashdump files that it definitly is the mainboard.
What is the conclusion with this new information?
Edit: Whoops, triple post, sry :/

What you have there is very occasional errors in the block move test, which normally means marginal timings rather than a cell fault or PCB fault. You could describe this as an incompatibility rather than a defect.

The frequency issue with the second channel may simply be the BIOS not reading SPD values from the second channel and therefore running at fallback values.

Next thing to try is to drop the memory frequency to 1066, although skipping straight to the new/better RAM step is not unreasonable if you value your time.

I have my Pc running for 11 hours now of which I streamed like 5 SC2 and no bluescreen yet after I put the new RAM I bought in

Also the game runs way more fluently

Download the program "whocrashed", install it, and just click analyse. It gives you some information about the faulty file. From there you can google for solutions.
