My computer is sporadically crashing with either a bluescreen or just a lockup that only responds to a hard power down (in the case of the lockup it will output a screeching sound to the audio device). I have uploaded my minidump files here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LWB3QO7L for anyone who can decipher them. I have tested the RAM separately using both the standard windows memory test and the one from http://www.memtest.org/ with no errors after several hours. I am running Windows 7 x64 (fresh install, but updated to latest version) with the latest video card, bios, and audio drivers. All other drivers have been supplied by Windows. I notice the crashes more during gaming, but they have happened when the only window open was a web browser. I installed a GPU monitoring program suggested to me by my video card manufacturer and ruled out overheating of the video card. That's where I'm at so far with the problem, it crashes sometimes as frequently as every 5 minutes, and sometimes it holds off for a week. I only have these four minidump files because I formatted my drive when I reinstalled Windows. I am using avast! antivirus and nothing shows up when I scan with it. My system is as follows: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R CPU INTEL|C2D E7500 2.93G 45N R VGA EVGA 896-P3-1255-AR GTX260 RT MEM 2Gx2|GSK F2-8500CL5D-4GBPK R 500W PSU stock with RAIDMAX|ATX-612WBP case HD 640G|WD 7K 16M WD6400AAKS

Thanks, I uploaded it somewhere else and edited accordingly.
