Welcome

If you are overclocking any hardware, STOP. Reset any changed values back to default.

Be sure to update your BIOS. See if the problem goes.

Code:

My system is not OC'ed.Everything runs on stock values.

I'm getting errors in Prime95.Will attach stress.txt.

Should I also run Memtest86?
Will updating the BIOS help?If so,can you say what I should download?

BSOD ANALYSE

How long have you been running Windows 7 on this motherboard? Either there's a BIOS update available for your motherboard, otherwise your board is not 7-ready. Your BIOS is from 2009 which could be problematic.

Here are some of my suggestions:

Search your hardware parts on the Windows 7 Compatibility Center, and ensure that Microsoft has approved the product to be 7 ready.
- End with the Upgrade Advisor afterwards.

Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor - Download - Microsoft Windows

Yes, run Memtest86+.

Combining your crash dumps and the general view of BSODs culprits, I'd suggest you to have a look at your memory, the sticks. Through decades people have been using the bootable tool called Memtest86+ and it's basically very unique in these manners.
Be sure to check your warranty rules and regulations before opening your case.
* Memtest86+ is USB-ready, and can be booted directly from it. Download the flashdrive wizard.
* To ensure that either your sticks OR your motherboard slots are broken, it's necessary to do the below procedure-
* Pull out all sticks except ONE, scan it.
* If no errors, pull the scanned stick into another slot.
* Proceed like this until you've scanned all sticks individually, and all the slots.
Best Regards,
Frederik.

I got 4 RAM-lanes:2 yellow and 2 blue
In order to boot,I have to use the blue ones
when booting with RAM in yellow lanes,it asks for RAM

Memtest:

I tested each stick,they both passed
When testing both together,my system reboots as soon as test starts
1 blue lane says RAM is 400mhz-DDR800
other blue lane says RAM is 200mhz-DDR400
I cleared CMOS but still remains

Can this be the problem?

FredeGail · 25 Sep 2012

Hmm, is everything (clock, voltages) set on [DEFAULT]/[AUTO] in BIOS regarding memory?

Best Regards,
Frederik.

Huppakee · 28 Sep 2012

Everything is set on "auto".
Each RAM-stick on every lane,passes.When testing both together,system reboots without giving any errors in Memtest.

I run Windows 7 for about a year now on this mobo.The Upgrade Advisor didn't gave any errors.
Biosflash only solution?
If so,i most use the last one from my mobo manufacturer website?(juli 23,2010)

Edit:got another BSOD after opening thread.Again while ingame.

It's time to update the BIOS.

PC-AM2RS790G - PURE CrossFireX 790GX

Have you tried lower-end OS'?
