Yes, looks like your going shopping for RAM. :)
Strange that all four failed!
Do you have a spare stick you can try?

Yeah it was weird that all four failed making me wonder if the motherboard(which is the one I just got from pc direct) is bad. Unfortunately, my computer uses DDR3 Ram and the only available ram I have available is DDR2, but I hope to get some soon so we can finish figuring out these problems, will check in again soon, thanks.
Hi,
Yeah, sounds like it could be either the slots on the motherboard and/or RAM issues.
Are you able to RMA the Motherboard, might be best before you go spending money on RAM?
cheers

Hello,
I am gonna go to PC Direct first to see what they can do for me since they replaced my MOBO telling me that it was the source of my bsods in the first place, then if need to I will RMA my motherboard. Thanks for the suggestion, will check in again soon.
Hello,
I am back, and apparently the voltage settings on the ram sticks was wrong and has been seen to a proper voltage. So now I am back to using the computer normally to see if anything pops up, and I will check in again soon, thanks.
Hello,
Sorry to say but I had a new bsod happen
Also I noticed in the Device manager that the non plug and play driver fs_rec has no hardware connected to it should I be concerned? Thank you.
Hi,
No that's fine, Fs_rec is Windows File System Recognizer Driver,
most likely for recognising USB devices, mines exactly the same :)
Looks like Nividia drivers are causing issues, like before:
Please install this stable version: Drivers | GeForceCode:Driver: nvlddmkm.sys Dated: Sat Jul 13 19:43:31 2013 Refers to: Nvidia video drivers.
Also there are some ataport errors present:
ataport.sys is very prone to malware called a rootkit.Code:010c51a0 ataport!WPP_MAIN_CB 010baf4f ataport!IdeStartCrbSynchronized+0x7b
I would scan the system for possible virus infection with the following programs
just to be on the safe side.
Anti-rootkit utility TDSSKiller
Windows Defender Offline
cheers

Hello,
I have installed the video graphics driver and turned off the auto updates. As to the ataport.sys issue I used the Anti-rootkit utility TDSSkiller and came up with these results. But when I chose delete and rebooted, Windows said it couldn't start properly and I ended up using system restore. Afterwords I went the Windows Defender Offline route and after using that I scanned again with Rootkit utility and found no threats.
