At this point I'm pretty convinced that the RAMs are the ones causing problems, the speed change seems to have stabilized them but I still don't understand why the previous speed was causing such issues
 
I purposefully left my pc idle the whole afternoon and it rebooted, changing the ram speed reduced the frequency of the issue but it didn't solve it
 
Not really, I think that could be beneficial trying to change te ram speed again to something different to see how this affects the issue. I'm not sure about the criteria I should base the new value on, though.
 
Sorry, I let this one slip.

My method, back in the day when overclocking was newish, was to start with the lowest common denominator and ramp up in increments. This applies whether you are changing your Front Side Bus (FSB), multipliers or voltages.
Never OC more than one component at a time.
I don't recommend OC'ing unless the PC is specifically built to do so.

Start at the lowest setting for the RAM, run it for 2-3 hours, if stable, move to the next higher, rinse and repeat until you notice instability. When this happens, back down to the most stable setting.
