Make sure your dump logging is enabled.
- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- Double-click System.
- Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
- Check Write an even to the system log, and Automatically restart.
- In the Write debugging information list, click Small memory dump (256k).
Location of Dumps:
C:\Windows\minidump
changed the settings do i need to wait for the bsod to happen again or do i just need to run dm log collector
happend again so i ran dm log collector. when i ran it gave me 2 files the pandasniper.rar file and made a folder called SFdebugFiles
Alright thanks.

Take memtest. Run for 8 passes and test each stick in a know good slot for an additional 6 passes.
InformationErrors are sometimes found after 8 passes.
TipMemtest should be done overnight.
