Replacing the RAM fixed the BSoD's it seems (no more IRQL errors! hell  
yeah!). Though I wonder if, perhaps, the HPET not having drivers but  
yet being enabled in BIOS could cause errors with RAM quantities over  
1GB? I can disable the HPET in the bios since we can't find any  
drivers for it anywhere and it doesn't seem to be necessary for the  
system to function. We can't upgrade the Windows Embedded installation  
to a higher service pack unfortunately. I think I can live without  
HPET. We'll see.

Thanks for all your help guys. It seems that my problem has been  
solved! Awesome!
