Need Help!

I've just built a computer with vista ultimate oem, 2gb ocz ram(or something like it), 500gb hd, 512mb video card and its a good computer. Only problem is every 20-40 mins it crashes and the blue screen of death comes up. I couldn't see what it said, it was something like physical memory dump with loads of numbers. I've looked it up but I couldn't find an answer. Is it happening because I don't have enough ram or is it not compatible or has it even got anything to do with ram?
HELP

You could have some bad ram , try taking one stick out and run with one stick in . If it does not work reverse the process. Also download memtest86 and test the memory to see if you have a bad module. It also might be that you need to set the voltage and timings for your memory in the bios settings.
