Hello;
So I have an oldish computer and decided to add some much needed RAM to it. Previously it had two 1GB Kingmax RAMs and was running slowly but smoothly. A few days ago I bought two Kingston HyperX 2GB DDR2 800MHz RAMs which should be compatible with my M2N-E motherboard and replaced the old ones.
Since then, the blue screens and freezes started. The blue screens are random, with hardly ever the same error. They happen mostly when I'm watching a movie (doesn't matter with what player) or playing a game but also it happens when the computer is idle.
So my first thought was that maybe it has something to do with the RAM's timings and voltage. I updated my BIOS and checked to see the settings. All was on auto but supposedly correct settings as the timings were 5-5-5-16 and 2T. I used CPU-Z and checked my memory and based on that I tweaked both the voltage and timings to different acceptable numbers but it didn't change anything.
My timings and Voltage are currently on 800 MHz 5-5-5-12 and 2T and 1.9 voltage. I manually changed it to this because that's what CPU-Z shows me in the epp section.
Then I thought maybe the RAMs are bad. So I downloaded MemTest86 and checked them one by one. No errors were found. Then I started the computer with just one of the RAM sticks and still I got blue screens.
Now I'm not a computer expert but I more or less know my way around computers. I hope you can help me fix this.
Here are some of the dump files. I wonder if someone could check them for me?

Now I'm thinking maybe the problem has something to do with overheating or maybe my PSU can't supply enough power (in the case that even one of the new sticks draw more power than the old two combined?!)
Could it be one of those? How can I check for the two issues above?
Here are my computers specs by the way :
Motherboard : Asus M2N-E
CPU : AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ 2.41
Memory : 2X2GB Kingston HyperX Fury DDR2 800MHz
VGA : AMD Radeon HD 5450
PSU : Green gp650b-oc
I also have two internal hard drives and a DVD writer and a DVD ROM and I'm using WIN 7 64 bit.
Sorry if this topic is in the wrong section. Feel free to ask anything and thanks in advance.
P.S. : It even froze as I was midway through typing this. Thank God the forum saved my post!
