    I have tried a couple things but I am still having problems. I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic and it immediately said "Hardware problems were detected. To identify and repair these problems, you will need to contact the computer manufacturer." I also uninstalled the driver that the System Health Report said had an error '52.' I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic again. No hardware problems detected; my computer seemed to be working fine, but it just blue screened again today. After running the Windows Memory Diagnostic yet again, it again says the hardware problem message and when Windows 7 restarts it now says I have a memory problem. Could this mean my RAM is defective?
    I have also had problems installing drivers. Specifically, on the one driver that I uninstalled because of the error 52, when trying to reinstall it (I got it from the Gigabyte website), it says Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software. Other errors have also occurred while trying to install other drivers.
    I've also had problems with installed programs. After installing some drivers, it said they may have not been installed correctly, would you like to try again with recommended settings. Also, Starcraft2 once said this to me after it had an error and crashed. I used the Blizzard repair to fix that. This makes me wonder, would this be a problem with my hard drive??? Or would this be RAM still? I am trying to pinpoint the problem, but am not sure how. Please help!

    I'm not a great fan of the Windows Memory Diagnostic. I prefer MemTest86+. Try this free procedure to test your RAM: Memory Diagnostics (read the details at the link)

    Perfmon states a Code 52 on the Intel HD graphics. Please visit http://downloadcenter.intel.com and download/install the appropriate drivers for your graphics card/device.

    Please visit Windows Update and get all available updates for your system. You have 51 updates after SP1, and most systems have 65 or more.

    Gigabyte EasyTune6 (ET6) is known to cause BSOD's on some Win7 systems. Please uninstall this program.

    If this doesn't fix things, post back and we'll work on other stuff (personally, I suspect your RAM but am not 100% certain)

    Thanks for the help, I did everything you said. Windows Update only had 3 more updates for me, though. When I re-downloaded that driver with the 52 error, it seems to have installed properly and did not say it couldn't verify the publisher.
    When doing the memtest86+, the first time errors immediately began popping up and by test #3 they were at count 95. I then reseated the RAM and redid the test. This time, the errors popped up slower and by test #3 they were ~ count 60. Does this mean i have bad RAM sticks? Have they been the cause of all of my problems?

    Yep, it's most likely bad RAM. Test the sticks in the first slot - one at a time. Once you've determined what's good and what's bad - test a good one in the rest of the slots. That'll tell you if it's the sticks or the slots that are bad.

    It seems one of my RAM sticks was the one with the errors. After following your instructions, one stick had errors in both slots. Though, mysteriously the first time I tried to test them they both had no errors. After trying the test again the next day, I found the one with the errors. I have taken that one out of my computer for the moment and since I did that, I have not had a Blue Screen. Looks like I am going to have to exchange my RAM. Thank you so much for the help!!
