My computer just randomly restarted and now everytime it loads windows the system restarts right away and I get this BSOD:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer.

If this is the first time you've seen this error screen,
restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow
these steps:

Run a system diagnostic utility supplied by your hardware manufacturer. In particular, run a memory check, and check for faulty or mismatched memory. Try changing video adapters.

Disable or remove any newly installed hardware and drivers. Remove any newly installed software. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart
your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then
select Safe Mode.

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0X0000007F (0X00000008, 0X80042000, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

I also can't get into safe mode. I am figuring it is some sort of memory/ram problem. But I have no idea what exactly to do. I want to try to run memtest, but I can't figure out how to create an image file from an iso file using nero. I can't really do much with computer because I cant even load windows.
 
I would install Windows on a second drive, pull any important files from the drive you are having problems with, and then reinstall Windows.
 
Well I took one stick out of my computer (I have 2 sticks total) and everything went fine. So I wanted to make sure that the stick I took out was bad so I replaced the "good" stick with the "bad" stick and still everything booted fine. WTF!?! So I put both sticks back to see what would happen and I didn't get the BSOD and everything is fine so far :confused: :confused:

I still want to run memtest, so if anyone can tell me how to create a bootable CD from an iso using nero, it would be appreciated.
 
Recorder -> Burn Image, point Nero to the memtest iso, and there you go. I'm assuming you run on Nero version 6. I'm not sure if they changed some of the menus from 6 -> 7.

I did that but nothing happened when I booted the computer. I assumed I had to convert the iso into a bootable disc. What am I doing wrong
 
Burning the ISO should produce a bootable image.

Did you set your BIOS to boot from the optical drives before it boots from the hard drives?
