Constant Random BSODs on a 5 days old system

I googled a bit and found out that there are MANY users with a HD5770+win7 64bit with randoms bsods... No one has a solution yet -_-

While they may appear random they in fact are not. There is a cause and usually a cure. If it is caused by hardware you may have to replace pieces to find which.

I Disabled Cool and Quiet because I read somewhere that it would cause random bsods aswell. No result.
Running SC2 gives solid crashes(something that was not 100% sure before the clean install...)
Also I encountered another random crash while I was watching something on the internet.

What tests are there left other then exchanging parts(can test my GPU in another pc on friday and test another gpu in this pc on monday)?

Memtest 9 passes was clear(2x2 gb in slots 1 and 2, with dual channel. Didn't test other configurations, is that something I might test?)
15 hours of prime95 held fine
furmark and heaven benchmark ran fine with max temp of 69c and 60c

Thanks for the hardware test help and the BSOD analysis
Didn't check hdd though, because I didn't know how.

I still suspect it's your motherboard. A well documented issue appears to be the design were the M/B isn't supplying enough power to the video card through the Northbridge circuit. While individual components, memory, cpu, etc check out fine via hardware tests, inadequate power to the Video card during regular operation causes random freezes, BSODS, and restarts.

Try raising the Northbridge voltage 0.1V to 1.2V (this was suggested by a Gigabyte tech). Also, you may want to try a combination of higher voltages for the memory (1.6V), and PCIx and Vcor voltages by as much as 0.25V.

Hi BWPotter,
I'll be testing another gpu tomorrow, both a nvidia(6700XL) and an ati one(unknown, because it's from a friend).
If those tests still BSOD, it's clear it's the mobo I guess. If those pass, it's almost sure it's the GPU. Although if these cards decide that the inadequate power is enough, i'll still not be able to find the cause.

Could you help me with a little tutorial/link on how to raise those voltages?
I Added a screen from SIW with my voltages. But I think it's not on there...

And do you have a link from the topic/email where the gigabyte guys suggested it?
Thanks

Took 1 memory stick out and tried to play starcraft 2. It seemed to work, so I put it in again:
some crash, outside starcraft 2.
Gonna try it in starcraft 2 one more time. If it crashes I'll memtest overnight, this time with 1 stick, and all slots
files:

oh sweet, a RAM issue, i've seen so ,SO many people having trouble with 2x2GB ram. 4x1 - OK , 2x2 - BAD, 4x2 - OK. What about dram:fsb ratio? without bottlenecks, there is a lesser chance of bsodding.

Well, with 2 sticks of ram I did encounter a crash, but not during starcraft :O
I REALLY don´t know what to do or how to test. I got my old GPU here, Nvidia 6700XL I think i´ll pop it in and see what happens...
