Hello.
Two months ago I added x2 1gb Geil ram to my x2 512mb Crucial ram. The pc ran fine for a month but then it started randomly restarting every 8 hours or so when playing a game. A couple days later my pc was getting the BSoD even if I opened Internet Explorer and looked at a couple pages with HTML (alienware site).
I turned off auto restart and I started getting the BSoD "STOP:0x0000008E". I took out the x2 Geil sticks and still got the error.
I tried playing with one stick at a time and I got the BSoD with each one. I ran memtest on each one for 10 hours each and one Geil stick was faulty.
I searched Asus and it seems that 1gb geil isn't compatible with my mobo. I decided to get x4 sticks of 1gb Crucial ram, because it is the same brand that came with my PC. I now started getting "STOP:0x00000050" nv4_disp.dll PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. I decided to reformat the hard drive and reinstall windows, same problom after I got everything installed and tried the game.
It seems that the more ram I have in the more frequently the BSoD pops up. I tested each stick alone in slot one for 10 hours in memtest, all passed. I ran a Prime95 Torture test on each one alone for 10 hours, no errors.
I am getting many different BSoD's now. It seems random which ones I get. PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, PFM_LIST_CORRUPT, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. STOP:0x0000008E, STOP:0x00000050, STOP:0x000000D1 mouclass.sys.
It has gotten worse and worse and now the game instantly closes if its mem usage is at around 900,000K. By the way, when I bought my ram I used the scan that guarentees what ram is compatible with my mobo. I also used the search mobo type to see what is compatible and the same ram came up. This leads me to believe it isn't the ram, but I am not sure.
I am thinking it may be Drivers. I paid 30 bucks to use a program called "DriverAgent" to seek out which Drivers I need. I am not sure how effective it is, as an Nforce driver overwrites a graphics card driver, vice versa. But DriverAgent only wants half of each driver. It wants a 6600gt driver for my dual 7900 gs and a different driver for my mobo. (I am not good with drivers so in my opinion there is a big chance it could be that)
Temperature is at around 50c always, I have an open case with a fan blowing in. McAfee 2008 scaned and found no viruses, spyware, adaware etc. I have had a program up that lets be view all voltages of my PSU as I ran a torture test with Prime95 and it was barely off. I have had two local techs try to help (one didn't do much and the other tried his hardest)but they were stumped.
Here are some mini dumps, I am not very good with computer tech so I hope someone can read them for me or tell me how. If you need more minidumps I can make probobly 20 in an hour :dead: .
I have been trying to solve this problom since before Christmas. I am in desperate need of help! Thanks. (Hope you can see my sig because it has my specs)

I will report back in about a day when I am finished testing it all with Memtest86+. I really appreciate the help!
