Massive ******** crashes wtf?

Before we get started, here's my system specs.

Mobo: Asus Crosshair Formula iii
Proc: AMD phenom II black edition 980
Ram: 4x4g strips of Gskill DDR3 1600
GFX: ATI Saphire HD 5830 (flashed with 5870 drivers/bios, NOT the issue)
3 displays

So, here's my ****. start to finish.

Pre Upgrade:

Eve was running fine, no changes on my machine till I upgraded from 4g to 16g of Gskill ram, I had to reload my OS to get it to see all 16g which was okay because It was that time of the year anyways (18 months since my last clean load). Prior to the Ram upgrade and OS reload i had zero problems. Should Also note after the ram upgrade but before the first OS reload it only saw 8g of my 16g of ram, but eve still ran like a charm with my only problems being the odd disconnect caused by my internet hiccuping or one of my servers deciding it wanted all the bandwidth.

Post Upgrade,
1st OS reload

After the OS reload and all my drivers getting updated, everything was running fine for about a month. Then ATI released driver version 12.4 (I was running 12.3) and after the update, everything just went to ****. This was also about the time the launcher came about. I didnt know which it was and at the time I was too drunk to care as long as I fixed it, aye? So I reloaded my OS again and ran driver version 12.3 and thoguht id be fine but I was horribly horribly wrong. Now When I say everything went to ****, heres a more detailed description. The launcher would (about half the time) say TQ was offline (when it wasnt), 1 out of 3 attempts to start the client from the launcher would result in a crash. For the rest, I need to mention I multibox at minimum 3, usually 8 accounts. This is also where **** gets wierd. My 1st account, would randomly crash more than half the time when I issued orders to my drones, but only when I issued orders to my drones. My second, would just randomly crash with no patterns whatsoever, and my third, wouldnt give me any problems, or disconnects or freezing at all. So 1st account has a pattern, second account is random and third is fine. All clients are running out of the same directory as they always have been before I reloaded my OS any time.

Since this point ive reloaded my OS about a dozen times (I like starting from the ground up) and reinstalled eve using the normal downloaded installer, and the 3 piece download package (1x 2.2gb package 1x 2.4gb package and 1x exe). Used both methods multiple times, in different directories on different hard drives (that im 100% sure i have no problems with).

it's becoming infuriating because I cant play the game without risking losing my boats to stupid stupid ****. After a crash it will take 2 or 3 attemtps to re-launch the client before it will launch without crashing. I've tried keeping the launcher open while playing, in hopes it wouldnt crash upon restart, and freshly starting it after a client crash to re launch my clients.

Long story short, every OS reload, every reinstall of the client, The same patterns appear on my 3 main accounts and its gotten to the point where I just cant play anymore. Please Help.

Whoever helps me fix this ****, I promise a sum of isk. Dunno how much because I plex my accts but I'll pay for help. Eve is the only game I really enjoy playing and I miss being able to play it without these constant frustrations. Any help, be appreciated.

**I apologize for poor grammer, repitition of sentences and other stuff. Couldnt play eve so I got hammered instead.

Help Appreciated

Id start by checking your ram, you dont need to reinstal the OS to get ram to show up normally, use memtest.
If it fails that you could try giving it a little more volts, when you fill four slots with ram sometimes you have to give it a little bump in volts, like if its 1.5v ram try 1.6v
Might not have anything to do with your eve problems though, its just weird how you explained the ram part.

I think It was my C drive dieing on me :(

Anywho, stuff appears to be working normally, so thanks for your input :)

Also, I overclocked my ram anyways. It seemed like a good idea :)
