What do you mean the RAMs are OK?
What testing did you do that didn't involve just a PC?
What brands of chips are they, including the Kingstons? Because if
the chips aren't marked with their actual manufacturers' logos or full
part numbers, most likely they're inferior, even factory rejects, and
with one model of DIMMs, most of the samples I tried were bad.
I can't think of anything but the CPU heatsink needing to be blown
out.

Do you know for sure that the laptop can handle a 2GB RAM module? Perhaps
2GB total (2x1GB) is its limit - you only see the BSODs when you use the 2GB
modules. Have you tried 2x1GB modules?
