Then uninstall the virus client. See what happens. 2 of the dumps, showed that. I thought it was the game, so did not give it much thought.
 
Ok will try what Vishal said over weekend, I think in this case I have to load XP as Windows 7 has all the drivers by default.
 
^^

Why you going for a fresh install. Do that as the last resort. Do the memtest on each stick, remove the virus client (it came up in the logs). Also did you not get drivers for Win7 -- chipset drivers.
 
Ok so I ran the memtest today with 3 1Gb ram sticks attached and it showed lots of errors attached is the screenshot of the same. Now I do not know how to read these messages and what is the outcome. Also can anyone tell me any specific settings to be changed in Memtest as I started it in morning around 10 am and when I returned around 9pm it was still running in loop. So for how long do I need to run this test and what settings do I need to set it on?

 
You should have run it one DIMM at a time. Give this a read. It is pointing to a memory error. You will need to find it by method of elimination. One by one.
 
Yep got the Culprit, did memtest on all sticks 1 by 1 and found 1 of the sticks to be kaput. Later did a memtest with all 3 healthy sticks and no error was found. So now running the system on 3 GB ram (healthy ones) and would see if it still gives a BSOD :D
 
Dunno how I missed this thread. I always use and recommend Memtest first for troubleshooting memory issues. I didn't once and almost ordered new components out of frustration. Had just got a used CPU and blamed all the errors on it as the rig was working fine before that. It was only when I got a new trio of sticks did I find out that my erstwhile RAMs were the villains :P. Looking at the two whole pages of trouble shooting and my personal week of frustration, I guess it's a lesson well learnt to go back to the basics of troubleshooting. Eliminate hardware problems and then jump to the software part.
