    I've reinstalled Windows 7 today so my system is pretty fresh, but I'm still getting BSODs.

    I've included my minidump here as attachment. Could someone help me figuring out what is causing this? I've done a memtest but that said that everything is fine.

    I don't know what to look for right now.

    Thanks for your help!

    Did you use memtest86? It is run before Windows loads and it needs to be run for at least 7 passes:
    http://www.memtest.org/
    Download the .iso file and burn it to a CD or DVD. Set the computers bios to boot from a CD/DVD first, and boot from the Memtest86 CD/DVD

    What antivirus program are you running? Have you scanned for malware?

    It's a fresh windows installation, so it can't be that.

    I have removed 1 GB from the 4 GBs of ram and so far no errors anymore. Also, the case is wide open atm.

    So it could be either heathing or indeed faulty ram, if the BSODs do not accur anymore. I'll have to wait and see what happens in the next 24 hours or so.
