Yup, keep the thread open for a week or 2 before taking as solved. :)
Still getting the BSOD. Alot less frequently now, but its still happening. How do I check if its my RAM and if so, which RAM?

Take memtest. Run for 8 passes and test each stick in a know good slot for an additional 6 passes.
The goal is to test all the RAM sticks and all the motherboard slots.
Check your motherboard manual to ensure the RAM sticks are in the recommended motherboard slots. Some motherboards have very specific slots required for the number of RAM sticks installed.
If you get errors, stop the test and continue with the next step.
1. Remove all but one stick of RAM from your computer (this will be RAM stick #1), and run Memtest86 again, for 7 passes.
Be sure to note the RAM stick, use a piece of tape with a number, and note the motherboard slot.
If this stick passes the test then go to step #3.
2. If RAM stick #1 has errors, repeat the test with RAM stick #2 in the same motherboard slot.
If RAM stick #2 passes, this indicates that RAM stick #1 may be bad. If you want to be absolutely sure, re-test RAM stick #1 in another known good slot.
If RAM stick #2 has errors, this indicates another possible bad RAM stick, a possible motherboard slot failure or inadequate settings.
3. Test the next stick of RAM (stick #2) in the next motherboard slot.
If this RAM stick has errors repeat step #2 using a known good stick if possible, or another stick.
If this RAM stick has no errors and both sticks failed in slot#1, test RAM stick #1 in this slot.
4. If you find a stick that passes the test, test it in all the other motherboard slots.
If Part 2 testing shows errors, and all tests in Part 3 show errors, you will need to test the RAM sticks in another computer and/or test other RAM in your computer to identify the problem.
In this way, you can identify whether it is a bad stick of RAM, a bad motherboard, or incompatibility between the sticks.
The test ran for 18 hours with 6 passes and 0 errors until my mom unplugged my computer by accident -______- do you think the last 2 passes really mattered? I'm running it again anyways.
I ran the memtest for 9 runs with 0 errors. However, I'm still crashing alot. Here's the latest DMP. http://sdrv.ms/SmjQiQ
Please upload the files directly to the website.
Sorry i forgot. Here ya go. If it helps, my computer is BSOD'ing a lot more often now.
Can you upload a snip of the hardware temperatures using Speccy?
Holy tits 111 C? Is my mobo supposed to be that hot?
Then again i just finished playing a pretty long game after its been on for the last 30ish hours. Not sure if that matters though.
