I was getting BSOD up to three times a day for the last 6 months.
Tried micosofts memory check program, drwatson, dump files, looked for
faulty drivers every day, etc.

Finally gave up and bought a cheap pc that worked fine....until I decided to
increase its ram by using the ram from the old machine....then got regular
BSOD again. Chucked out the ram and everything was fine again.

This ram could be tested for hours without fault using the microsoft memory
check program....but since confining it to the rubbish bin my new pc is ok.

The old failing pc is humming along nicely now it has been fitted with a new
ram chip.

Hope this experience helps someone else.
