What I say you do, is run one stick at a time. If one gives bsod then you know its thats one.

Also how frequent was bsod?

and before you go testing ram make sure you test both of them equal amounts of time, to ensure it is a ram related problem

thanks for that but actually i don't know the cause of the bsod .. it happens quiet frequently but only in Vista (i have fedora too) ., and specially when i am playing a game (eg NFS)... in one of them found memory management error........
