What started out to be a small problem is now very frequent. I get the BSOD within 5 minutes of turning the PC on, normally it would just be the odd occasion.

Ok guys, first I was having a problem with the hard drives, a new set of sata cables seems to have fixed that. All the while (even in XP Pro) I would occasionally get the BSOD, I thought upgrading to Vista 64 might solve this, however it didn't. The BSOD is now very frequent, and I've no idea what is causing it.
Last night, I downloaded memtest and ran it in windows, but after 5-10 mins BSOD again, and I gave up and went to sleep. Today I have just turned on the PC and checked if all the settings in the bios seemed ok which they did, I tried running memtest again, within 30 seconds BSOD again.
I've now taken the memory out and have replaced it with a spare set of Geil 1GB DDR (512x2) 3200 which I had. Memtest has been running in windows for about 10 minutes so far and so far it hasn't crashed.
I suppose I will have to let it run overnight to be 100% sure but could the OCZ ram just be faulty, its been running flawlessly for over a year now.
What ram settings should be set in the bios for that particular ram on the asus motherboard?
Is there any way in windows of checking the last few BSOD messages so I can post them up in there, someone may then know whats causing it?
