What other info do I need to provide so it'd be easier for you guys to help me fix the problem?

Here's the dump files from today after every BSOD...
Clicky.

Try reseating your RAM and Gfx and also try running memtest

That all I can think of at the mo

Shaye87 · 24 Jun 2010 at 18:21

you don't think it might be something to do with software?
have you checked the dump files? i have no idea on how to read them so they are useless to me.

Shaye87 · 24 Jun 2010 at 18:23

and i did run memtest for a couple of hours had no errors

Just had another BSOD while browsing the forum

Tried reseating the memory and gfx like you offered but...

The crash dumps aren't giving away many clues... at least to my eye.

What sort of software have you got running? Antivirus? Is it a new build? Did you install the OS fresh or upgrade? How long was it running fine for?

I couldn't find much in those dumps either. Check your ram voltages/timings are correct in your BIOS (lots of motherboards don't detect them correctly, so you'll have to manually do it).

Configure your system for a full memory dump rather than just the kernal. That will help us get a better analysis.

(I don't have Win7, so I'm just guessing here...)

Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System.
On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery.

Would run a harddrive test(manufacturers diagnostic tool), bsods are usualy hdd/ram going faulty.

Mind you ive run test before confirming hardwares fine untill ive actually tried another hdd/ram and found a part that was faulty.

Check your cpu/system temps as always, I recommend Coretemp or Realtemp.

A good run of Prime24 Or orthos too see if your cpu/ram are ok always handy too know also.

I was running Comodo Firewall on my Win7 x64 system until recently.
I found it to be the source of some crashing and BSoD I was getting, un-installed it and I haven't had any crashes since

Had something similar on some servers at work recently, seemed to be a conflict between a McAfee update that had gone out and storage drivers on the server. A full update on the server of firmwares and drivers to the same PSP/Smartstart level from HP seemed to fix it.
