Dont Know why I BSOD

My computer has been crashing a lot and I don't know why, so I am posting up my minidump files to see if someone can help.

At first I though it was a memory issue because the computer would crash while i was using memory intensive programs like Firefox, but I ran memtest 86 v.4 and did 6 passes for each stick of RAM and got no errors.

Here are my computer specs:

OS
Windows 7 ultimate 64bit

CPU
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 2.40GHz

RAM
2.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 400MHz

Motherboard
ASUSTeK Computer INC. P5N32-E SLI (Socket 775)

Graphics Card
512MB GeForce 9800 GT

Windows 7 was running great for a little over a month and about two weeks ago I tried to upgrade my memory from 2 gb to 4 gb, but the new memory was bad so I re-installed the old RAM and that is around the time when I started to get these crashes. This is also why I thought it was a memory issue.

I did reformat and re-installed windows 7 thinking that would solve the problem but it didn't, so I'm posting the minidumps to see if someone might have an answer cause I don't know what else I can do.

You have several different causes of these crashes, and since there are multi causes I have to suspect hardware. Use these to see what it means and how to diagnose it. https://www.sevenforums.com/crash-loc...-what-try.html

Thank you DocBrown & zizag3143,

If it's a hardware issue I probably messed up something else while I was trying to install new RAM. Does anyone know of a good program or programs that could do stress tests on individual hardware components (like memtest but for graphics cards, processor etc.) just so I could get a better grasp of where the problem might be?

Thanks for the help guys!!

Yes I do have the correct memory an they are in the correct slots.

I will try and see if blasting the RAM slots with an air can will solve the issue.

If that doesn't work I will try swapping out parts and see what happens.

I think I know what the problem is, I checked the temperature on the CPU and it goes over the factory reccommended setting of 60 C. It's actually idling at 57 C so now I just have to figure out how to cool that sucker down.
