I have been getting various BSOD's at random times: page fault in non paged area; irql not less or equal.

When I reboot the computer after receiving one of the BSOD's, it doesn't load up past the point of the 'Samurai Warrior' with an ERROR CODE of C1 or 52. The only way to get the computer to load up past this point is to remove one stick of ram (4 sticks in total 4*1G Corsair). It doesnt matter which stick I remove.

If I start up the computer with up to 3 sticks of ram inserted, I never receive a BSOD. How can I avoid the BSOD's and keep 4 sticks of ram inserted as well?
I upped the ram voltage from 1.80v to 2.10v. It didnt solve the problem.

Thanks for your help guys

I ran memtest for 18 hrs checking sticks one by one. No errors.

 
C1 and 52 both refer to memory (it may be other memory than ram though). Since memtest came up clean, I'll suggest checking all connections (data and power) to ensure they are firmly connected - a loose data or power connection might cause that also. After doing that I would suggest running Prime95, see what it tells ya

One of the ram modules seems to be different to the other 3.
xms2-6400 1024mb 800mhz 5-5-5-18 1.80v ver4.1 07490797
xms2-6400 1024mb 800mhz 5-5-5-18 1.80v ver4.1 07490797
xms2-6400 1024mb 800mhz 5-5-5-18 1.80v ver4.1 07490797
xms2-6400 1024mb 800mhz 5-5-5-18 xms6405v2.1 07350720
Does this matter?
