OK. The logs show some very serious errors, and I'm not sure at this point if you have multiple problems here. The most serious is a bus connection error, which originated from IRQ18. What I would suggest is to remove this card and reseat it in it's place. Hopefully it may have just become slightly loose when amoungst the process of swapping out your RAM. This problem could have also been caused if pressing down on the motherboard too hard.

The second logs are related to this microsoft article: Possible Resolutions to STOP 0x0A, 0x01E, and 0x50 Errors. I have also ruled out software as any possible cause to this one, but could not narrow it down any further for hardware. The result of this error could have been caused by hardware incompatibility: memory, graphics card or motherboard. It's very unusual for this to be a processor issue suggested in the Microsoft article here, as the CPU needs to be operational for the log file to be created in the first place. This problem could be related to the problem above.

After reseating the graphics card, please can you post (if any), any new logs you receive.

I'll do it first thing in the morning as its very late here ones thing to note with the old RAM now back in the PC did hang which is unusual for it. All the programs went into a non-responsive state. I do recall accidentally knocking the GFX card but wouldn't the fact that it does seem stable with the old RAM rule this one out? Anyway i'll try that in the morning and report back

By the way would you like me to reset the graphics card and reboot with the new memory stick in ?

No, I do believe that the second set of logs are causing that hardware incompatibility that I mentioned earlier, and my first thoughts was RAM for these. It is not impossible for incompatible hardware to cause the bus connection error as well, however the fact that the logs show that it was reported by IRQ18 (which uses it's own memory), would suggest you have another problem there. You could always try the new memory after reseating the GPU to see if your logs no longer indicate this connection error. If you keep receiving these Blue Screens of Death, then I certainly wouldn't keep them in there for long, it can't be doing your motherboard any good. What make RAM did you buy, and from where?

Bought from an ebay shop.

OK. You have a Gigabyte motherboard model GA-8TRC410MNF-RH. From what I can tell Packard Bell have exclusivity for this motherboard, and the details for this board on their website are quite vague. Cleverly worded "Support for up to 4mb".

If you ever buy a brand new motherboard by itself, it will come in it's own box together with a manual. In that manual, you'll normally have a compatibility list of all types of memory that will work with that model of motherboard. Guarantee'd Kingston will always be in there, it's it the most reliable and most popular brand of memory. However, you'll not always find that specific brands will support up to 4gb. This is because the board may only support up to 1gb sticks for a specific brand of memory, whilst 2gb for others. This is where the "up to 4gb" can be perceived as the board will accept 4gb, but this is not true. Bordering on false advertising if you ask me (have never liked Packard Bell). Because Packard Bell have exclusivity, Gigabyte have not made this compatibility list available on their website. I will try to contact both Packard Bell and Gigabyte to see if we can obtain a compatibility list directly. I'm willing to bet my monkey tail that the 2gb Kingston is not on that list.
