BSOD playing various games on Steam, 0x00000050

Alright it took longer than I thought but I'm done with 9 passes with 0 errors (5 passes last night, 4 passes the night before).

I see I forgot to add the link to the tutorial in my previous post so here are the instructions again with the link to the tutorial.

Diagnostic Test

 RAM TEST

Run MemTest86+ to analyse your RAM. MemTest86+ - Test RAM - Windows 7 Forums

   Note

MemTest86+ needs to be run for at least 8 passes for conclusive results. Set it running before you go to bed and leave it overnight. We're looking for zero errors here. Even a single error will indicate RAM failure.

You need to do 8 complete passes straight for conclusive results.
7 passes the first night and 1 pass the other night for example won't give conclusive results.

Oh...darn... okay I'll redo the test.

Test redone. 8 consecutive passes this time with 0 errors. Took me 16 hours

Let me know if you get another BSOD.
If you do, please use the tool again and upload the zip file.

Haven't gotten any in the past 3 days after I cleaned some dust from inside the computer. Could overheating cause bluescreens?

Yes it can, because overheating causes hardware damage.

I guess that could've been my problem then unless I get another bluescreen anytime soon. Well thank you for your help (:

You're welcome :)
