I have an Asus P5Q-E running the latest BIOS (2101) with an E8400 running Win7 64-bit. My other hardware is an OCZ 780W power supply, 2x2GB OCZ Reaper DDR2-800, and a Radeon 4890.

I have been getting BSoDs (IRQL not less than or equal) when using Firefox. I haven't done any gaming or anything stressfull. I ran the sticks individually through Memtest86+ and after mutiple passes, did not receive any errors. My next thought is to try the sticks in a different slot to see if the issue is with the board and not the RAM.

I don't remember what I saw in the Event Viewer, so I'll check on that and add it to this post when I have the chance.

Any other suggestions to narrow down the cause of this?

try reinstalling or installing the lastest version of your graphics card drivers

You might also uninstall Firefox and completely scrub all vestiges of it. Reboot and see if the system stops blue screening. If that passes muster, reinstall Firefox and go from there.
