Random Windows7 bluescreens...need help with dump files

I've been trying to get my debugger to work for quite some time but I've never been able to get it to work right since I went to a 64 bit platform in vista. Anyways, here are my two dump files.

MSI 790FX-GD70 Motherboard
AMD Phenom II 965BE
Geforce 8800GTX
4x1024 Crucial Ballistic DDR3

My computer has started to blue screen at random, and it's really starting to piss me off since the computer is absolutely completely stock - it has not been overclocked or anything. The computer is water cooled. The CPU, SB, GPU are all on the same loop, peak temp is 42C under load, idle 30C.

I had a tv show running on my secondary screen this evening and all of a sudden it just locked up, and I couldn't figure out why, I presumed it was going to crash because I had a windows loading cursor over WMP11. Then, about 20 seconds later it momentarily blue screens for a split second and then reboots... no memory dump was logged, windows7 is compeltely unaware it just crashed, comes back into windows with no error or knowledge that it was just rebooted - which I find a little odd. I presume because of this it might be a memory issue.

Now, the computer has Crucial Ballistix memory - and I've been using ballistix since the early C2D days and every single stick of this memory I have ever owned has gone bad on the average of 2-4 times. It's by far the worst memory I've ever owned in my life - so I wouldn't be surprised if this new DDR3 is also crap - I won it at a contest (which is the only reason I'm even using it). I haven't had time to memtest it yet.

I've included my two most recent blue screens that actually have a dump file, however the most recent one has no dump file like i mentioned earlier. My memory dump file is just about 1 gb, so I didn't upload that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated... also, is there a new W7 x64 chipset driver out from AMD? I'm currently running the November drivers.

ntoskrnl.exe for the first one and ntkrnlmp.exe for the second but you answered your own question. Get rid of the Ballistix. Stuff is evil. Long story short a friend had a system that would pass memtest all day, every day, but still BSOD. After way too much messing around with it he just swapped the RAM for something else. Problem solved.

Of course it could be something else but I would not do anything without first switching the RAM to a different brand/model, anything but Ballistix.

Thanks for doing that man, I really appreciate your time and effort. What ever happened to Crucial? They use to make the best modules available?

They still do, it's just that Satan makes the Ballistix line for Crucial. Like I said, a lot of people have good luck with Ballistix so it's not like every single one sold is crap. Still, could be a driver but I wouldn't do anything until swapping out the RAM for testing.
