BSOD in Vista 64

Since installing 64 bit Vista I've had very few BSOD eppisodes. The recent one was caused by a Nokia software install causing a shut-down problem when it attempted to re-start the PC. The system recovered on powering up again and the software seems to have installed correctly.
Cause of BSOD

In my case, the BSOD started sporadically. I formatted and reloaded. For awhile that seemed to solve the problem. Then it started again and increased in frequency. I finally traced it to a stick of memory going bad. Fortunately, it had a lifetime warranty. Haven't had a problem since then.

One computer I had to run check disk on drive that fixed BSOD error.
One computer had two Ram sticks took out one still error, took out second and replaced with first BSOD fixed (Just replaced the bad RAM stick and no more BSOD)

There should be a response of haven't had a BSOD. I haven't had one since I purchased this PC about 5 years ago and use Windows XP Home Edition.

Switch from Intel to AMD Processors
by gspal - 8/15/09 6:04 AM In reply to: Poll: What was the cause of your last BSOD? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
The last time I had this blue screen phenomenon was on my earlier PC Pentium III with Win98SE and IE 5.5. On my new assembled PC I switched to AMD64 Athlon 3200+ using Windows XP2 Professional and IE 6. Though at times the computer does get slow, but no blue screen shuts a command. Now even this "New" PC is coming to be three years old. The next assembled one would have the AMD Quad with a proper cooling system. But would stick with Windows XP2. However, I may move from IE to Chrome or Firefox which depends on my home-based work providers of medical transcription on an online platform. If there is a better nonintrusive operating system, then I will be very happy to have dumped Microsoft altogether.
Motherboard failure caused BSOD
by dawn_swe - 8/15/09 6:43 AM In reply to: Poll: What was the cause of your last BSOD? by Lee Koo (ADMIN)
My "like new" (i.e., factory refurbished) Dell Inspiron laptop experienced BSOD failures repeatedly right out of the box. After lengthy discussions with support personnel, reinstallation of virtually all software plus installation of a new CD/DVD drive and a new hard drive, they finally agreed (after about 2 months of trial and mostly error solutions) to let me send the unit back. It came back a week later with a new motherboard, and has worked fine since then.
Blue/Black Screen of Death

Trojan killed my motherboard-(BIOS)
Had to buy new computer. Had an upgraded Compaq which functioned remarkably well for an 8-year old machine until the Trojan. Now have a new Dell which I love, but miss the old machine.
Wsa running anti-spyware and anti-virus, so am not sure how this got through.
Last BSOD

Broken network card. Literally--I could see the break in one of the printed circuit lines. Pop the card=no BSOD.
With four machines, two of them as old as Win95, I've never had a BSOD that didn't track to a hardware problem.
BSOD?

Color card- Whoops gave away my age.... Source ATI video card and drivers. It was so long ago. The time before? One of Creative Labs' Soundblaster cards. Time before that? Bum motherboard.
Sometimes it's just a case of incompatible hardware due to compnent or part burn-out, before MTBF.
