New computer blues... -

I know we have a tech forum, but i figure more people will view this here. I just built myself a computer about 1-2 weeks ago. Whenever I play a games like CS:S or Oblivion my computer would show a blue screen and then restart itself. The message that would appear on the blue screen was something like "Driver_IRQL_Not_Less_or_Equal..." I searched around and figured it might have something to do with my memory. I dled a memory tester and found numerous errors on my 2gig Corsair RAM. I decided to try buy 2gigs of Mushkin RAM instead and I just installed it and now the errors are even worse then before. My computer would restart before I even signed into windows. Im thinking now that it might be my motherboard because when I first opened it, I saw one of the little coaxes (dont know if this is the right term) near the memory slots bent and it was intefering with inserting the memory stick, but i just bent it back and slid the stick in. Here are my specs...
Asus P5N32-E SLI
Geforce 8800GTX 786mb
Quad Core 6600 2.4ghz
2gigs of Ram
400gig HD
530W PSU
