Memory Management BSOD

I've been having an issue with a Memory_Management BSOD for the past four months or so. Basically, ever so often out of the blue, it will crash with this message, and I can't pinpoint it to anything hardware or software related. Sometimes it happens when I start windows (rarely) shut down windows (more often) and also sometimes just during general navigation of the operating system. My first thought was that it was the RAM so I replaced all 4GB with another 4GB and still get the error. I ran memory tests and it says everything is fine. I reinstalled Vista, and recently upgraded to Windows 7 hoping it was a Vista issue but I still get plauged with it on the new OS. I disabed my Physix Card, Sound Card, tried running GPU's on basic Windows Driver, underclocked CPU...anything I could think of. I also did stability tests on the CPU without any problems whatsoever.

It really is the worst issue to have on your PC, its so hard to pinpoint a cause. It doesn't make any sense because for example I could leave Rainbow Six Vegas 2 running all day without a BSOD, and then the next day just browsing the web it might crash twice in an hour.

Anybody got any idea of something I may have overlooked? I'm at my wit's end!

cheers guys.
