Completed the 1 hour stability test whilst watching speed-fan, the highest temperature my CPU went to was 59 degrees

Don't disable that as it's your dump file creation. In fact change the settings so they look like this:
Look across the top of the system properties box for 'Advanced' and click that.
Look for 'Startup and Recovery' near the bottom and click 'settings'.
Near the bottom you'll see a drop down menu under the heading 'write debugging information'.
In the drop down menu choose ' small memory dump (256KB)'
Under 'small dump directory' make sure it says %SystemRoot%\Minidump.
Click ok and your good to go.

Your temperatures sound good.

Now please go back to the original post and follow the instructions on using memtest86. Your best testing the RAM overnight unless you see an error straight away.

They are just easier to use than full memory dumps as they are so small plus all the relative information needed is contained within.

One would only need to see a full memory dump in certain situations, like if you were a developer or some such.

No, it will just make life easier for you and us when dealing with the file. Instead of a 16GB file (or whatever your ram size is) your dealing with 256kb which is far easier to upload ect...

Here’s my bag. turn off your pc open the case take the ram out and blow on the stick then the slot then put them back in. Push on them firmly to make sure they’re deffo in the slot If no change uninstall mygraphics drivers. Restart then install them again ill try this next

Well re-seating the RAM 'may' help but your better off testing it as we have already stated. I know you don't have any CD's so why not try the windows memory test at least?

To check the logs of the Memory app open up “Event Viewer” by navigating to Control panel, Administrative Tools and open Event Viewer.

Navigate to “Windows Logs” and then select “System.”

Now on the right pane, select “Memory Diagnostics Results” to see the test results.

To be honest though you'd already know if there was an issue but do check just to make sure.

Sounds like a good plan. Please make sure you test all sticks.
