BSOD

This weekend i upgraded my PC and ever since ive been getting BSOD. They happen when the OS is loaded and i can be doing anything from installing to opening a browser.

One of the screen dumps shows if page_fault_in_nonpaged_area.

My google search indicates that this can be related to defective RAM. Any ideas?

Having another issue. The new RAM arrived and was working fine for a few days but now i keep getting BSOD on boot up. I took 1 stick out and everything worked fine again so i thought it was defective RAM again. Before sending it back i tested what i thought was the broken stick in the slot that was working and i was able to boot without issue. So then i thought the MB was broken but when i put the ram in another slot that i hadn't used before i got the BSOD again. I reset the bios back to default and got the same issue

Any suggestions??
