Hi everyone,
I've been getting a lot of BSODs lately, on my relatively new computer. At first I thought it might be faulty RAM, and ran Memtest, which showed a failure in one of the sticks (i had 3 x 2gb DDR3 RAM). I took out one stick, and ran memtest again, and it showed no errors after 10 passes, so I thought that would solve my problem. I reformatted my PC after that, and it ran fine for a few days, but recently its started crashing again. Sometimes Windows will just plain fail to start, or sometimes I'll get hit with a BSOD 5 mins or so after the PC has booted up.
I'm actually running ubuntu off the cd right now, cos I didn't want my PC crashing over and over.
I've attached the minidump files, hoping you guys can shed some light.

Oh, I saw your real picture - I'm sure there was at least some hair. : )
