Random, repeating BSOD'S

Hi i built a pc for gaming and for ages it has been working flawlessly but a little while back its started to bsod quite frequently. I've reformatted numerous of times but hasn't fixed anything, ive tried latest drivers and still nothing, ive tried different psu's ram, ive tested the ram for at least 4 pass's for each stick of ram and they all pass fine, no errors. I've never had a problem like this before and im really confused.

Especially when i play games in an evening i would get about 5 bsod's
i dont think i ever got one from just leaving my pc idle, also bsods occur when converting video files, i think it has something to do with, when i use a lot of resource's also some of the error messages were like,

Memory_management

Irql_not_equal, or something like that and a couple others i got those two the most though.

My Specs:

CPU: Amd Phenom x4 955BE (stock 3.2ghz)

GPU: before had a 8800gt but now using a nvida 7300le i think (to see if it would make a difference)

PSU: 650watt ezcool

MOBO: Gigabyte AM2+ GA-M720-US3 (AM3 CPU READY)

CPU COOLER: Arctic Freezer Pro 7



RAM, kingston 3gb 533mhz (unganged mode)

How To Find Drivers:

- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.

- - The most common drivers are listed on this page: Driver Reference Driver Reference
- - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads


2-Kaspersky. Remove and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials

3-Memory corruption. Possible caused by Kaspersky or other driver. Test memory with memtest

Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program. Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.


Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot. Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.
