So, getting these strange mini dumps and can't quite seem to figure it out. (Checked out the other topics, but they don't seem to have quite the same report as I do, and I want to be sure about this.

80 = 0x50 = Bug Check 0x50: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA This indicates that invalid system memory has been referenced. Cause Bug check 0x50 usually occurs after the installation of faulty hardware or in the event of failure of installed hardware (usually related to defective RAM, be it main memory, L2 RAM cache, or video RAM). Another common cause is the installation of a faulty system service. Antivirus software can also trigger this error, as can a corrupted NTFS volume. Resolution Resolving a faulty hardware problem: If hardware has been added to the system recently, remove it to see if the error recurs. If existing hardware has failed, remove or replace the faulty component. You should run hardware diagnostics supplied by the system manufacturer. For details on these procedures, see the owner's manual for your computer. Resolving a faulty system service problem: Disable the service and confirm that this resolves the error. If so, contact the manufacturer of the system service about a possible update. If the error occurs during system startup, restart your computer, and press F8 at the character-mode menu that displays the operating system choices. At the resulting Windows Advanced Options menu, choose the Last Known Good Configuration option. This option is most effective when only one driver or service is added at a time. Resolving an antivirus software problem: Disable the program and confirm that this resolves the error. If it does, contact the manufacturer of the program about a possible update. Resolving a corrupted NTFS volume problem: Run Chkdsk /f /r to detect and repair disk errors. You must restart the system before the disk scan begins on a system partition. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff559023%28VS.85%29.aspx To see the cause I have to take a look at the dumps with the Debugging Tools for Windows. Please start the Windows Explorer and go to the folder C:\Windows\Minidump. Next, copy the dmp files to your desktop, zip all dmp into 1 zip file and upload the zip file to your public Skydrive [1] folder and post a link here.

Thanks for the reply, I uploaded it to a new folder called Log files where I put the minidumps in to a zip file. http://cid-ea9041a64909dce3.skydrive.live.com/home.aspx That's the link, once again thank you for helping.

So it looks like your RAM is the casue. Please download memtest86+ [1], burn a new bootable CD (use a CD-RW if possible) from the ISO (download and use ImgBurn [2] to do this make double click on the ISO in Windows 7), reboot your PC and scan your RAM 4-5hours for errors. If it detects errors, replace the faulty RAM. Also update the BIOS: BiosVersion = V1.3 BiosReleaseDate = 07/21/2009 SystemManufacturer = MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL CO.,LTD BaseBoardProduct = 770-C45 (MS-7599) and install all Windows Updates. Is the RAM compatible with your MSI board?

I checked the bios updates and it seems there are about five updates before the current update that are for improved memory compatibility, so I'll update that first. Thanks ^^

Alright I first checked my system with Memtest86 and no errors came up, so I felt safe about flashing my bios, it went through without a hitch and neither firefox or windows has crashed afterwards, it works quite excellent :D Thanks a million for the help, I truly was stuck on the matter.
