I just got my first one from playing NBA 2K11. My computer is only 2 months old...should I worry?

No need to worry but you should try to see what is wrong. Start with the ram and see if it is stable using Memtest. Then we will go from there.

Yeah, I think it might be the RAM. I just changed the settings last night from [Auto] to the 800MHz/1600 settings in BIOS (that's the factory clock for the G.Skills I have). Think that's it?

You should have saved the '0x0000000' number. That would have solved it.

If your RAM is rated at 1600Mhz, it should be fine, just make sure to not set the latency too low.

Btw, BSOD means Blue Screen of Death, so you wrote Blue Screen of Death Screen

Wait...what's that? I don't remember seeing that number/option in the BIOS.
If you download bluescreenview it will automatically look for memory dumps/mini dumps that were generated by the bluescreen - this should give you more of an idea of what caused it.
