I just shut it off after a few hours. I am going to try to run Memtest on each one of sticks tonight. Hopefully I can find the bad memory and get it replaced.

Well, it turns out I have one bad memory.
RAM #1 in slot 1 = No Errors
RAM #2 in slot 1 = Over 1,000 Errors
RAM #3 in slot 1 = No Errors
RAM #4 in slot 1 = No Errors
Put RAM #2 & #3 in its original packaging...
RAM #1 & RAM #4 in slots 1&2 = No Errors
RAM #1 & RAM #4 in slots 3&4 = No Errors
So I think it's safe to say that it was the RAM. Filing an RMA now.
Thank you guys for helping figure it out.
By the way, is the debugger tool something I can easily get? I don't think I can understand in full what it tells me but Google's one of my best friends. :)
Also, thank you for pointing out Memtest. I didn't know about it but looks like I'll be running it every time I get new RAM.
That was some good diagnostic work, wangster. :) Well done.

wangster,
Nice work. Glad to hear that you located the problem and that we could be of assistance.
Well, this thread was my first post in this forum. Came to this place after doing my first Win7 install. Thanks to you guys, I RMA'd the bad ram, received the replacement last week and haven't had a blue screen error yet. Thank you again.
I'm glad to hear it. :)
Thanks for reporting back, and let us know if you need anything else.
