you mean like this?
this is what ntoskrnl.exe is for ,very important this is a copy paste from Wikipedia .
ntoskrnl.exe (and ntkrnlpa.exe on systems with Physical Address Extension support) is the kernel image for the family of Microsoft Windows NT operating systems. It provides the Kernel and Executive layers of the Windows NT kernel space, and is responsible for various system services such as hardware virtualization, process and memory management, etc., thus making it a fundamental part of the system. It contains the Cache Manager, the Executive, the Kernel, the Security Reference Monitor, the Memory Manager, and the Scheduler, among other things.
you can check this site ,to run the startup fix ,if no results do the memory scan and or the disk check i suggest below .
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Resolving-stop-blue-screen-errors-in-Windows-7
So this is what i suggest !!!
because it manages ram you should do a scan of your ram for errors i suggest using memtest86,run it for at least a few hrs ,download the ISO file and burn the image to cd and boot computer with the cd in the drive and it will run the test on bootup
www.memtest86.com . direct download link to the iso file , http://www.memtest86.com/memtest86-4.0a.iso.zip
if no errors, then i suggest going into windows ,go to [my]Computer ,right click on the harddrive icon,go properties /tools ,error checking ,make sure it checked off "automatic check system errors "click ok and it will ask to reboot computer to run the scan,reboot ,good luck

ok i just ran the startup repair, it's saying no problems were found. i'm getting started on the memory test as soon as i can.

In my evaluation there might be a set of reasons why the Blue Screen error comes out, to the point that I don’t make out any aspect of your issues, I can right now report to you to reinstall your operating system. You must attempt to reinstall the OS using a bootable CD/ DVD after formatting the concerned separation
