Memtest should be left to run overnight.

It may be worth mentioning that last year I encountered the same BSOD. My stop errors might have been different but whatever. I formatted, disabled hardware components, changed drivers, and was at the end of my rope until on a whim I increased my memory voltage to the next higher setting through the BIOS. I don't remember the exact procedure but can check if you want. At any rate, since doing that I have not gotten any BSODs of any sort. If I lower it again they start up some more. It's pretty decent OCZ ram with heat spreaders so I don't think I'm doing any damage with the extra juice.

I have noticed some bulging capacitors on my motherboard and predict that it will die someday soon, but... ignorance is bliss.
