I think my motherboard is broken or damaged. I get bluescreens really often. [link] . Is it the motherboard?

Hardware:
Asus Sabertooth Z77
AMD Radeon™ HD 6770 Graphics
Intel Core i7 2600 Sandy Bridge
Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9 Vengeance (4x4Gb)
Gigabit PCI Express Network Adapter TG-3468

Check the CPU. I had a Core2 Quad crap out on me due to poor manufacturing (One of the cores was faulty)

I've personally had no luck with ASUS boards... Try a Gigabyte one?

Looks like your RAM's about to be shot! To save a few dollars when replacing your RAM, you can purchase a new one yourself and bring it to a repair group to have it put in.

May just be a virus.

also check the capacitors on the motherboard, if they are leaking or bulged outwards on top they may be bad and can cause errors. can be fixed relatively cheap.

Looks like a memory issue. Make sure your installed memory is compatible with your board.

Run memtest [link]
Also grab WhoCrashed [link] and report back what it says.

Have you updated all your drivers(graphics,sound,iGPU,NIC etc etc/bios/OS?

Oh. Okay, in the bios, set the BCLK back to 100, set the memory speed to 1333Mhz, and check that the memory is seated correctly and run memtest again.

So now test each stick of ram individually and each slot as well. That would determine if its bad memory or the motherboard.
