What is the code of the BSOD?

If so - that is the ram - dead probably

If everything's working fine on the motherboard beside the RAM, I'd say a RAM problem.

I would try to isolate the problem by trying a working pair of RAM sticks and see if the problem consists with those. That would indicate that it's definetely the motherboard.

Krazieaznboi, as some have said it could be your DIMM slot. Have you tried grabbing a can of compressed air or even an air compressor and blowing out the slots? You could possibly have a small piece of debris in there that is causing these problems. Is your machine overclocked at the moment? If so have these problems persisted after running at stock speeds?

Let us know

Good luck
