    How long did you run Memtest for?

    You should also run a torture test on your CPU. Download the appropriate version of Prime95 and let it run for a few hours.
    OK thats fine... but whats the reason for bsod? It occured only 2 times so far... after that no bsods so far... i just read in dmp file its due to some file error "ntoskrnl.exe"

    May i know whats the reason behind that? help would be appreciated :)

    nstokrnl.exe is reported for a lot of different BSOD errors. Your Error is of the 0x000000c5 type and in my experience is casued the most by a driver.

    Update your drivers for your graphics, wireless, lan, sound, motherboard, etc, essentially everything you can to their latest versions and let us know.

    Some programs report nsoskrnl as the cause because that was the last in the stack. That is a critical system file, and is highly unlikely to cause a BSOD. Any bugs in that file would be gotten out before the beta builds even.

    I believe the cause of your BSOD is hardware. Usually either RAM or CPU.
