randomly BSODing

I'm really confused on this one....my computer has decided it likes to BSOD at least twice a day, and I can't figure out what's causing it. (I can't think of anything I changed around the time this started either)
At first, I got the memory_management error. I had 2x2gb of corsair dominator memory originally, but I ran memtest on that and it failed horribly. I switched out those sticks (RMAing) for a 2gb stick of Gskill 1066, but I still keep BSODing. (haven't caught the error code yet though, it likes to go blue when I'm not here)
I switched from the XG 185.20 beta nvidia drivers (worked like a dream for me), to the XG 182.06 ones in an attempt to resolve something. Nothing was resolved.

Any ideas guys? I'm going crazy trying to figure this thing out.

go into system properties, then advance start up and recovery and either uncheck or check auto start up. the opisite of what it is now. then when it bsod on you it will stay at the bsod screen till you manually restart the pc.

Might be an unstable overclock. Have you checked your CPU's stability? If so, with what and for how long. I don't know much about overclock but you might have to up your memory speed/voltage/timings to get your system stable.

the 0x124 errors are hardware. most times it is from the cpu. my suggest is that its an unstable oc. try lowering it back down to stock or say 3.0 and see if you keep getting the bsod.

Funny thing is, I've been running this oc for months yet it didn't start bsoding until like a week ago
