In addition to the above I think it worthwhile to test your RAM. There are two ways you can do this:

Either....

1. Remove the two 16GB sticks (and ensure that the two 32GB sticks are in the correct slots for a two-stick system) and see how things go for a few days.
2. If you get a BSOD then swap out the two 32GB sticks and run on just the two 16GB sticks for a few days.
3. As long as you run long enough on each pair of RAM sticks this will definitely reveal whether one pair has a bad stick.
4. The advantage of this method is that you can keep working whilst you're testing your RAM, albeit with a potential RAM bottleneck.

Or....

1. Download Memtest86 (free), use the imageUSB.exe tool extracted from the download to make a bootable USB drive containing Memtest86 (1GB is plenty big enough). Do this on a different PC if you can, because you can't fully trust yours at the moment.
2. Then boot that USB drive on your PC, Memtest86 will start running as soon as it boots.
3. If no errors have been found after the four iterations of the 13 different tests that the free version does, then restart Memtest86 and do another four iterations. Even a single bit error is a failure.
4. The major disadvantage of this method is that it will take a long time to test all your RAM and you won't be able to do any work at all until it's finished. Note also, that whilst Memtest86 is very good, no memory tester can find 100% of potential RAM problems.
