i built my own computer a while back, and got a BSOD every now and then, but recently its becoming more frequent.. heres some of them.. 0x00000051 ....7E, 19, 8E, A etc...and my browsers keep closing all the time, with the usual error message, and the same for applications and games..... do u think its a memory problem? i tried memtest but it didnt find anything, got my anti-virus/malware running all the time too. should i just re-install windows?

DDR2 PC6400 2GB 800MHZ
GIGABYTE EP31-DS3L
C2Q 8200 @2.33GHZ
500GB HDD

arite then, but do think its the OS thats causing these problems? or faulty hardware?

hmm, the memory did seem a bit cheap at 20 pounds from play.com, thought PNY was a good brand

so what type of memory would u recommend for my type of motherboard? im not entirely sure that the PC6400 was the correct type..
