Before going into the dumps have you tried googling the error codes?

TBH I don't think event Bill Gates fully understands the BSOD.

How often does the machine crash and can you replicate it?

Have you tried another OS, even a bootable linux distro to take Windows (and software) out of the equation?

LOL, bsods are the bain of my life. it happened 4 times in a night. Im thinking its the ram but want to read the info and see what it says.

Reason why i think ram is, if i open alot of programs or run a video of the wbe it will crash. Also it crashes when its idling (well running msn etc with screen off) when im out n bout.

I need to stick with windows as my main OS for now due to software i use and so on. But im going to dual boot with linux.

Did you get this fixed?

I was going to suggest you give Memtest86+ a try to check the memory for errors.
