In my case the BSOD, I think, is caused by memory but not necessarily faulty memory chip (I used the utility you recommended and it found no fault). What I see before the BSOD "fires" is my screens go haywire; they start jumping around, size changes, go On and Off. This goes on for about 5-15 seconds and then very quiet :).
