Hey got a stupid question...I purchased a intel extreme series dp67bg. And a intel coreI7-2700k cpu. And 12gb ddr3 1333mhz triple channel memory.

My question is being that ram is triple chandler and mobo is only dual channel could that be the reason why I am getting 2-3 bsods a day.

The bsod are mostly memory management errors.

If I had another of the same chip to remaining slot will that fix issue. If I remove 1 chip will that fix issue issue.

Does triple channel memory differ in anyway compared to dual channel.

Ps hardware test were comming back fine. Running mem tests got 25 million errors and not even halfway through test. I do not think it was accurate cus memory was brand new .

If you are running triple channel memory in a dual channel motherboard it would be pointless. I'm pretty sure that is not causing your BSOD's. If you are getting lots of errors in memtest then it's most likely a faulty stick. Test each stick individually and see what results you get, hopefully you'll find one of them gives you errors and the other two do not.

Sounds good. I will do. Got memory for free that's why im using tripple channel

Triple Channel RAM is no different than single or dual channel.
RAM is packaged in matched pairs/sets to help insure compatibility.
Using three RAM sticks on a Dual Channel Mobo puts you in Single Channel Mode resulting in reduced performance and 8GB should be more than enough.
MemTest needs to be ran on one stick at a time to get accurate results.

so...2 of the three chips passed. the other failed miserably. of the chips that passed, tested individually, only one will boot the system. with the one that wont boot, it cycles through intel screen and powers off. the one that tested good and boots, was the one that was in slot 1 the whole time

Test the stick that always boots the PC in the other slots.

What tyree said and test the one that passed but doesn't boot in slot 1

Ok ill give your suggestions a try. During my original tests I tested all sticks on slot 1
