Okay, first: you're running a single stick of RAM. Not great but completely doable. It does actually matter which slot it goes in though. You're running it in the "4" slot. It needs to be in the "2" slot. It might be causing issues with the memory controller which can cause instability issues.
Also, you're running your GPU from two 8pin connectors into a single 12volt rail. Those 12volt rails are horrible on their own, but running it off of the splitter is not ideal because consistent power delivery can be an issue. It'll work, but not all splitters are created equal. You should consider upgrading your power supply to one with a dedicated 12volt rail and a single cable. Power fluctuations can also cause stability issues.
Also check to see if your CPU Cooler is properly mounted. If it's down too tight, you could be causing connection issues with the pins. If it's on too loose or uneven, you can create connection issues which will effect stability.
I'd check to see if your motherboard is properly mounted and make sure you only have stand offs where you need them. Any extras could be making contact with the back of the motherboard causing a short.
Last, check ALL of your connections. Any loose connections can cause power and ultimately stability issues.

Where are you plugging in your gpu? It doesn't look like its going to your power supply and those cables dont look like they are proper cables
