Hi there!
Have you ran the MemTest86+ as Dave asked? If so post us the results. Make sure you run it 7 to 8 passes.
Hi there!

Try this free stress test: Free Software - GIMPS
Run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File CheckerPrime95 Setup:
- extract the contents of the zip file to a location of your choice
- double click on the executable file
- select "Just stress testing"
- select the "Blend" test. If you've already run MemTest overnight you may want to run the "Small FFTs" test instead.
- "Number of torture test threads to run" should equal the number of CPU's times 2 (if you're using hyperthreading).
The easiest way to figure this out is to go to Task Manager...Performance tab - and see the number of boxes under CPU Usage History
Then run the test for 6 to 24 hours - or until you get errors (whichever comes first).
The Test selection box and the stress.txt file describes what components that the program stresses.
I haven't had any issues for a while now since updating the BIOS and some other drivers and ran both of those tests and got no errors. I'm going to mark this as solved for now unless the issues persist. Thank you everyone for your patience and help, you just helped end a long period of frustration!
Sad to say the problems are still here, albeit a little less frequent.
I'm pretty sure its not an issue with memory corruption, as every test I've won has not come up with any errors.
It is very common for any memory test to pass a few times and then show errors, it's just the way electronics are, if you are still having issues I recommend to run memtest86+ again. Run it overnight for a full 7 passes.
I searched your laptop for similar issues and RAM problems came up, repeatedly.
Have you done any of the suggestions from this previous post?
Your last crashes.

Let us know what you decide to do.

I'm terribly sorry for the late reply, I've been very busy recently.
I restored my laptop to factory new settings in an attempt to get it to cooperate, and it had mixed success. I can now do a little more work than I could, but they still are happening.
Ran MemTest again, no errors as before. I'm downloading SeaTools as this is typing.
My recent bluescreen had a specified driver: Ntfs.sys, if that is any help.
Not to worry. No problem with responding whenever you find the time to do so.
It'll be interesting to see what Seatools has to say, as NTFS is used to manage files on disk. I don't know much about dealing with BSODs, but do know that the identified error does not always accurately identify the true culprit.
I loaded up Seatools, ran both of the tests that you said to run and they both came back positive, no errors.
I have noticed recently that the bluescreens get out of control when my laptop is not connected to a power source (ie running off of battery power)
