No, running with one memory slot populated will work fine. You will lose some performance because the other slot is not filled, but you won't get blue screens because of only one slot.
Have you run MEMTEST overnight to verify the stability of the memory you do have ?

MEMTEST -- http://www.memtest86.com/ boots stand alone and will help verify the stability of the hardware. It helps remove unknowns, like is it a hardware or software problem. Run it overnight to a full day. If it has NO ERRORS then your memory and CPU are OK and pretty stable. You can cross them off the list of possible reasons for blue screen.
