Failing memory?

I got this system back in March this year (see sig below), and I've never had BSOD's and my system was stable.

After using Win 7 which I clean installed last month, I've had no problems up to a few days ago. I've noticed BSOD's more often after extended periods of gaming and after multiple windows and over 50 tabs of FF.

My system is hardly taxed as I don't OC, my timings are standard/defaults and the ONLY game I play and keep it running in the background most of the time is Guild Wars, which is hardly a stressful game for my system.

Most of the time, the BSOD shows "Memory Management" as the problem. So I ran memtest+ v4 and found like over 1500 errors after running 6 passes in 9 hours.

I've searched thru the forums and from what I gather is it could be RAM, PSU or mobo faults. I've updated the BIOS a few months ago, and never had an issue. And my PSU, I doubt be insufficient.

So, do you think it's most probably due to faulty RAM?

Absolutely.

To be certain, reseat the modules, reset CMOS, & then make sure that they are set to their rated voltage.

If you still get errors, it's time to RMA.
