I keep getting blue screens

I built this rig maybe about 8-9 months ago and have never had any problems with it until now. Every once in a while, ill get random blue screens either while playing a game or just browsing the web.

The blue screen says..

"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press f8 to select advanced startup options, and the select safe mode.

Technical information:

*** STOP:0x0000000A (0x00040000, 0x0000001c, 0x00000001, 0x80502000)

Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete.
Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance."

My specs are as follows.
AMD athlon x2 5000+ @ 2.81GHz
Asus m2n-sli deluxe (using bios version 0903)
Corsair xms2 drr2-800 4x512mb (4-4-4-12/2t)
eVGA geforce 7950gt
Antec truepower 550w
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty

I've run memtest v1.65 for 21 hours and no errors were detected and it had 37 passes. I'm not really sure what is causing these blues screens and I've looked things up and cant seem to find anything on it. Would loosening my ram timings to 5-5-5-14/2t help at all? or is there any other ways to fix this problem? Thanks in advance for your help!
 
your memory may need a bit more voltage. Try bumping it be .05V and see if that helps.

Run a memtest on the system
 
Can you get into Windows through safemode?

There is a setting in
*process to get to it*
start-settings-control panel-system-advanced tab-startup and recovery settings button at bottom-

Once inside you'll see a dropdown box that says Write Debugging information, and it should have small memory dump selected. Select that dropdown box, and select none, and uncheck automatically restart checkbox above it.

Try seeing if this will stop it. You may also want to get a multimeter, and check your PSU voltages, or swap some parts out with others to troubleshoot. Or buy a POST card.
Hope this helps
