    Looks like a possible memory problem.

    I see that you have already posted this:

    Don't know why it keeps giving me BSOD when there are not many programes on the PC.
    Adding more memory won't solve a problem if you have faulty RAM.

    Run a memory test! Replace it if tests don't pass.

    I ran that memory test for 6 hrs and no problems came up. Maybe it's because there is not enough ram. Altho, when I go to update windows it always crashes.

    512 is enough if you aren't running multiple apps at once.

    You can check Available Physical Memory with Windows Task Manager - Performance tab.

    Open device manager

    when you opened device manager check if there are yellow exclamation marks which mean a device is not working.

    you can try to disable com ports if you are not using them in your BIOS. This way you will free up a IRQ.

    Also if available turn off/on PNP OS in the BIOS.

    If you have a soundcard plugged in a PCI slot AND you have an onboard soundcard, check if and disable the onboard soundcard in your BIOS.

    As we said before check out if one of your memory sticks is faulty. If you can safely open your computer (call your computer suplier if this will affect the warantee)
    Try to use only one memorystick at a time to see if the errors disappear. If you are not sure where the memorysticks are located and how to remove/insert them ask a friend.
