I have absolutely no idea how to run memtest. I have no floppy drive and no cdRW drive.
The error I got earlier today is:
"This problem was caused by :"win32k.sys"
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
STOP: 0x00000050 (0xf000E81A, 0x0000000, 0xBF8A1CB3, 0x00000000)
Techincal specifications:
win32k.sys - address BF8a1CB3 based at BF800000 DateStamp 43446a58.
This is copied and pasted from eventvwr.msc:

I am running Windows XP Home SP2.
I ran adaware with the latest updates and found errors, had the stop error a few minutes later.
I ran spybot search and destroy, found errors also, had the stop error afterwards ( ran this right after Ad-aware).
I did not return any of my OC settings back to stock.
I am now runnig WinDBG and also have read over CaptainNewbie's page.
