Hi guys I've been getting random bluescreens recently and they are getting more and more prevalent. I need to figure it out because I don't want to be in the middle of a paper and have my machine shut off on me. Here is the windows version of the details:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3
Locale ID: 1033

Additional information about the problem:
BCCode: 3b
BCP1: 00000000C0000005
BCP2: FFFFF8000305B01E
BCP3: FFFFF88009FACFC0
BCP4: 0000000000000000
OS Version: 6_1_7600
Service Pack: 0_0
Product: 768_1

Files that help describe the problem:
C:\Windows\Minidump\031214-40341-01.dmp
C:\Users\Mark\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-306807-0.sysdata.xml

I've also seen other people post their minidump files using skydrive in order to help understand the problem. I'm not sure what that is but I'll try if you need it.
 
Solution
The usual culprit when that happens, is the memory. Not always, but a goodly portion of the time. Run Memtest on each stick of RAM individually in the first slot for at least 1 full pass. If any errors show up, the stick is defective.
