My system has been bluescreening regularly lately, I have posted my issues on other forums and have gotten some decent information, but I would like to get some information from this forum as it is actually supported by microsoft. I have made sure that my BIOS, drivers, and ssd firmware are up to date; and have also done a 10 hour run of memtest86+ which returned 4 errors over the first five hours and none over the last five. I know that optimally, that memtest should not return any errors, but are these four errors indicative of faulty ram causing my Bluescreens?

My experience is that BSODs with multiple causes are (almost) always caused by faulty hardware. If you've seen memory errors in a test. The preferred way to proceed is by replacing or removing memory to locate the faulty piece of memory.
Chances are very little that your issues are caused by a bug in Windows or one of the drivers you are using.
Did you do any BSOD analysis on the dump files? Did they point you in the direction of a specific piece of code? If these are random, than it's best to start looking at your m
Please post a copy of your dump file as a shared file to your Sky Drive with a link here.
The dump file will be created at c:\windows\minidump. You may need to change your settings in Windows to be able to see the file. To show hidden files type Folder Options in the search box above the Start button and select View, Advanced Settings and verify that the box before "Show hidden files and folders" is checked and "Hide protected operating system files" is unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second item. You should also make certain that the box before "Hide extensions for known file types" is not checked.
What is your computer make and model? If not a branded computer what is your motherboard make and model?

Edit: My motherboard is an Asus sabertooth 990fx with bios version 1604. (first revision of the 990fx sabertooth board not the second.)
I am now going to try to see which ram stick is throwing off the errors.
