Constant BSOD to do with hardware. I can't work out what is wrong.

First of all Ive had my PC for a year and I have never had a problem up until 2 months ago.

It first started when I changed the voltage in the BIOS to the CPU to 1.36 instead of AUTO. Yet after a while I decided to change it back to AUTO and it still gets the same problem.

I have checked the CPU on Prime95 for hours and It does not seem to BSOD at all.

It happens usually when Im using Flash on Chrome (Watching a video usually) or when Im in a game it can happen randomly (Yet this is more rare).

It defiantly not a software Issue I formatted my hard-drive and re-installed Windows 7 yesterday and I still seem to be getting these problems its almost random yet watching videos seems to be a correlation.

I went onto Blacklight retribution yesterday for the first time since my re-format and I got two blue screen's on the menu screens. I went into the BIOS and set the CPU Voltage to 1.37 and it seems not to be blue-screening for now.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
It would be very useful if you could post a picture of the bluescreen or a copy of the error code / message. It is next to impossible to start a diagnosis otherwise.
 
As Shankly and others have said, it looks like bad RAM. Run MemTest86 from here;

http://www.memtest86.com/

Just burn it to a disk and boot, should show you any bad sectors. I had similar issues with a machine at work, would randomly blue screen (most likely as the system tried to use bad memory sectors).
 
also have a little google for nirsoft bluescreenview as it will display all your bluescreen issues and the affected files, may point you in the right direction
