Then do the same process with each single stick, until you have tested them all individually. If you get the same random reboot in each case, it is not your RAM. You can also then install the sticks and check each slot on the mobo.

well, i have 3 installed and one spare (they were sold in pairs) so i was thinking of swapping them out one by one, the problem is that the reboots don't happen regularly ; i had 2 today within a few hours but i hadn't had any all week previous ; i can't remember the last time it happened specifically but definitely more than a week ago.

It's time consuming, but it is the best way to make certain it is not the RAM.
No BSOD .... most of those error messages you noted looked like the aftermath of a BSOD. Especially the Windows is recovering from an error stuff. And really, the BSOD is just the precursor to a random reboot ... it's not like any of the error codes mean anything to much of anyone. (Really, I defy anyone to find someone who can honestly decipher those things).

it doesn't show an error or freeze or anything ; it just suddenly clicks off and reboots, just like if i pushed on the button, or if i accidentally kicked the switch on the power strip (which i didn't do !!!). that's why, the last time, i thought it was the power supply. and i don't think it's linked to a specific program... the first time today i had a lot of things running because i was working, but the second time i had only the browser open i believe.
