Can someone please tell me what this event log might mean, I have no clue. I guess BSOD's started after I put new ram in computer, but can anyone tell me if I'm right, because I ran memory test and it was fine!
Maybe this event log can help!?

That ‘Unexpected shut down’ message is probably generated because of the BSOD you had earlier. So the Event error is not really an error.
You need to make the computer stop on a BSOD (BCC or Bug Check Code) and not automatically restart when an error is encountered. Do this by right-clicking Computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings > Advanced Tab then click Settings at the bottom alongside Startup and Recovery. In System Failure remove the tick from ‘Auto Restart’.
Now, when a BSOD (BCC) occurs, the STOP error will be displayed on the screen, together with the error message. Make a note of the hexadecimal error number (the format is 0x00000aaa, where aaa is the error code, e.g. 07A) and look for an explanation of your error number as shown in the left pane here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/li...
