Blue screen help

My PC recently has been blue screening a lot lately, about 3-4 times a day and I have no idea what's causing it. I tried to unplug all my accessories except mouse and keyboard. I tried to run intel burn to see if it was my CPU or ram, also ran chkdsk on all my drive and that didn't help.

I'm looking for software that can read the dmp files so I can figure it out what's causing my blue screens before I resort to reformatting my PC.

Are your temps high?

 

have you noticed any trends as too when it blue screens like are you playing games or what?

 

have you overclocked anything?

My bsod isn't game specific, it bsod on Diablo3, LoL, metro last light, far cry. It Bsod while at idle, when I wake up in the morning I see that my PC has recovered from an error.

At first I thought it was my old GTS240 which would reach 100C but then recently I bought a new GTX260OC. My CPU isn't over clocked.

I'm not at home so I can't really tell you what the error code is but I really don't want to reformat. Any help would be appreciated.

When you get home would you please post the error code. It make troubleshooting your PC much easier since the problem can be everything from a driver problem to a failing harddrive

Use bluescreenviewer to see what is causing the blue screen, once you do tell us what it is, also even though you have ran tests it could still be the ram (happened to me)
