Let me point out the possible issues here:
1. Motherboard is bad (this is unlikely)
2. Loose, defective cabling or a bad HDD controller (RAID or SCSI)
3. Malware (Viruses can cause the 0x7a bugcheck)
4. RAM (This is not a issue, we have confirmed it)
5. Hard Disk logical (since you have run chkdsk the filesystem looks all right)
6. Hard Disk physical (a physical problem such as a bad head or overheating)
7. PSU (There is no way to accurately test this without a multimeter; software voltages are not always correct)
8. I want you to try to disable memory caching or shadowing in your BIOS. Go to the setup, and disable those options. I don't know exactly which menus those options are in for you.
Please go to Start -> Run -> eventvwr
Look for errors at the time of the crashes and tell me what those errors are.
Also install SP3 and all the Windows Updates.
You can find compressed air at any computer or electronics store like Fry's Electronics or Best Buy.

Ok.Still have to do the rest you said

Are you using a RAID array (SATA or SCSI?)?
Right now I think that the problem is the PSU. Can you give me the make, model, and wattage of your PSU?

If you don't know what I am talking about, then you don't have a RAID array installed. If you are interested: http://www.pcstats.c...m?articleID=830"Are you using a RAID array (SATA or SCSI? "
... don't know what you mean :| (sry) ...

The noise you are talking about can come from the PSU or the hard drive.
Try disabling memory caching and shadowing in your BIOS.
Ok, I hope it works out then.i will try to disable memory caching and shadowing

What is your motherboard make and model again? You might want to update the IDE or SATA controller drivers.

RAM only uses a small amount of power drawn from the PSU. To check if adding more RAM makes the BSOD appear in games, insert some more RAM and try playing.
Go here: http://www.asrock.co...l=939Dual-SATA2
Download the JMicron SATA2 driver ver: 207 and ULi SATA driver ver:1058f drivers, and install them.
Since there is a small possibility that malware can cause this problem (but unlikely) you might want to follow this guide: http://www.geekstogo...uide-t2852.html
Then post the required logs in the Malware Forum and let a tech look over them.

There aren't any in my bios ...Try disabling caching or memory shadowing in your BIOS.
