i did a clean reinstall earlier, haven't crashed/bsod till now. hope it'll last.
i'll post here again if it happens again.
i did remember it happens after i installed a sata RAID controller with VIA chipset.
still happening when i pulled out the controller.
maybe that's the cause....
Your MoBo has the Intel P45 Northbridge chip and so does mine. I had to tweak the voltage for the Northbridge (a.k.a. FSB) up a notch to get my system stable while running 8gigs of RAM. You might try that. Bump the voltage to the FSB (not the RAM or CPU) by 0.05 or so volts.

Just went back and re-read the thread... it seems like you've made a lot of progress. The driver update took care of a bunch of BSODs, the voltage bump eliminated most of the rest. You're almost there!
Do what H2SO4 says... upload the latest dump. Maybe he can solve the last of the problems.
