Help with bsod's

[Stakes]

I need help. My comp BSOD's...STILL. It has been blue screening more and more frequently, and the sceen appears so fast theres no way to read what it says. I reformatted my C drive (all my data is on D), reinstalled vista 64, and I thought it stopped the blue screens. It did for the first couple days, then, as I was playing Eve last night, it blue screened. This blue screen stayed there for a while, longer than the ones before I reformatted.

The interesting thing is, if it blue screens, and I let it boot on its own, once I get into windows, it will blue screen again relatively fast. However, if I turn the computer completely off after it blue screen, then turn it on again, it seems to last longer before another blue screen. In addition, if i leave my computer off overnight, upon waking up and turning it on, it can go quite a while with blue screening. Also, some days (before i reformatted) it would go a day or 2 without bsoding, then the next day it would bsod every 10-15 min.

Also, I doubt this is a temp issue, because I had been playing eve online for hours, several days, and it did not crash.

I thought this was orginally a hardware issue. I ran memtest to about 5000% and my memory appears to be fine. I have two 500 gig hitachi deskstar HD's and when I got them (over a year ago), I ran tests to make sure they weren't messed up. I ran prime 95 6 hours without any problems.

The rest of my info is as follows:
Gigabyte p35-ds3r rev. 1 (bios is up to date), socket 775
8800 gtx vid card
ram: Corsair TWIN2X4096-8500C5D Dominator 4GB 2 X 2GB PC2-8500 1066MHz 240-Pin DDR2 CL5 Dual Channel Desktop Memory
corsair hx620 power supply
cpu is q6600
case is cooler master cosmos

nothing is overclocked.

Also, upon rebooting, vista says this:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.1
Locale ID: 1033

Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 9f
BCP1: 0000000000000003
BCP2: FFFFFA8003AF5A30
BCP3: FFFFFA80060BF050
BCP4: FFFFFA8005AC9310
OS Version: 6_0_6001
Service Pack: 1_0
Product: 256_1


If you want further info on any of my hardware, or software, bios settings, just ask.

I still have a hunch this may be ram related.

Any help would be greatttttlly appreciated.

I know this will sound repetative, but go to google and download the latest version of memtest re-run memtest, do the same with DFT to re-check the HD. If all of this works, It may be an issue with the video card. I had a 9800 GTX, and it had issues too. You can try downloading and running a program like rivatuner to check and monitor your GPU clock speeds and temperatures. If everything checks out, you may be having OS issues. Let me know if you need any help with any of this.

so far from everything ive read on google is that its a power state problem in vista.. in the second link i posted a person described a couple things you could change in the bios to possibly fix it.. ya might want to give both links a read..

Ive had this same problem before with a HTPC! when we would go to watch HD movies it would get about 10min in the movie and BSOD! so i did mem check and everything was fine but i went and checked the HSF and the stock intel fan had popped one side back out from the motherboard so it was overheating BAD!
