Keep getting blue screens...

I keep getting random blue screens (random to me because I don't know what is causing them)...I'm hoping someone here can help me work this issue out...I'm assuming it's a driver issue but it very well could be an actual hard drive issue...I'm uploading a couple pictures of the blue screens I've got and my minidumps or whatever they are called...Hopefully someone can help!

Well, I had to upload to rapidshare because it was all too big to upload on here...

Hi,

The minidumps show mostly memory related faults, one fileinfo.sys and like two or three ecache.sys related faults.

I suggest you run hardware checks first. Run HDD diagnostics and RAM tests. Resolve any problems in hardware as needed.

As for the ecache.sys, check this document: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941020

Run CHKDSK /R and also SFC /SCANNOW at the command prompt.

I suggest you keep your Vista up to date.
