Random BSODs with increasing frequency.

I have been experiencing bluescreens with increasing regularity. I've made sure all of my drivers are up to date. I've run dskchk, and done the windows memory test, neither of which have come up with anything. I am at a loss of where to go from here as these dmp files make no sense to me whatsoever, so any help would be much appreciated. I've attached the .zip from the sf diagnostic tool. Any feedback would be welcome.:)

I ran it again here is what I got. The program seems to freeze, I don't know if that's normal or not.

Put the mouse over the icon on the taskbar, you should see another window behind the sf tool icon.

Click the X to close each window.

It's a bug in the software, it happens to me as well.

I think it finished that time, it actually gave me the prompt to move to a .zip file.

For some reason Revo Uninstaller doesn't detect VirtualBox as being installed.

It looks like VirtualBox didn't completely uninstall.

Right click and select delete for the following..

-Themes Setup
-Windows Desktop Update
-VboxNetFlt
-VboxNetAdp

Next, open File Explorer. Go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers and make sure VBoxnetFlt.sys & vboxnetadp.sys have been deleted.

Finally, your system looks pretty clean. Wait 24 hours to see if you get any Blue Screens. Make sure you test the system. :D

Look at CPU-Z to compare the memory tab to the spd tab. Please attach one screenshot of the Memory tab and one screenshot each of the SPD tab for each stick of RAM you have. (Change slot #, top left, for each.)

That all looks good, so it is possible memory is defective. I would run Memtest86+ overnight to see what it shows.

Before doing that, you might want to uninstall your Steel software (even if to hardware, for now) as a temporary test to see how that goes.

If you don't have 3d hardware, use services.msc to disable NVIDIA Stereoscopic service.

Contact GSkill for a matched set to replace the RAM you have now and they will do right by you.

When you get the new RAM from them, the machine will work perfectly. Just don't go installing random software with drivers and if you do, read up on reviews first about stability.

Best of luck.
