Here's my memory dump. I can't read it. I try to with windows debugger but upon installing it says it's not compatible with gateway and to contact the vendor :p no info on gateways site about this either. http://rapidshare.com/files/336515785/011510-19921-01.zip.html Thanks again!

I see this isn't your first time with BSOD 7F error. You had it with Vista too a year ago. Personally I don't trust zip files. Upload your minidump files to the public folder of www.skydrive.com unzipped. Is this the same machine? Did you ever fix the BSOD in Vista? Here's what is 7f http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842465 READ IT CAREFULLYUpgrade your bios if one is available, the link above will help you solve your problem.

Hi, try to get an update for the driver o2sdx64.sys (O2Micro Integrated MMC/SD Controller). André"A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

I can't find any updates for O2Micro Integrated MMC/SD Controller. Just Vista ones that are dated for 2005. I feel I'm on the right path now though with what the both of you said. cdobbs that link you posted is great and explains a lot. I'll play this forward and go post it with cred to you on some other forums I've been scouring for info. A lot of people appear to have this problem with not as much information as you 2 have posted here. Thanks again. Steve Can I just not delete O2Micro Integrated MMC/SD Controller driver? No idea what it even does.

Hi Steve, disable the O2Micro Integrated MMC/SD Controller inside the DeviceManger if you don't use the reader. André"A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

Since Windows system uses separated user mode and kernel mode memory space, stop errors are always caused by kernel portion components, such as a third-party device drivers, backup software or anti-virus services (buggy services). The system goes to a BSOD because there is some exceptions happened in the kernel (either the device driver errors or the service errors), and Windows implements this mechanism: When it detects some errors occur in the kernel, it will kill the box in case some more severe damage happens. Then we get a blue screen or the system reboots (it depends on what the system settings are). To troubleshoot this kind of kernel crash issue, we need to debug the crashed system dump. Unfortunately, debugging is beyond what we can do in the forum. A suggestion would be to contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) via telephone so that a dedicated Support Professional can assist with your request. Please be advised that contacting phone support will be a charged call. To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a look at the web site listed below: Microsoft - Help and Support If you are outside the US please see Microsoft Worldwide Home for regional support phone numbers.

UPDATE! It seems it only does the BSoD when I plug in an ethernet cable. Has anyone heard of this phenomenon? I can use wifi no problem, and be not connected and it works fine. A few minutes after I connect my ethernet cable at the hotel I'm staying in, bam, bsod? I can't see myself calling Microsoft. Its their product that got me into this mess. It's like going to an expensive restaurant, them fumbling your order, then asking you to pay a surcharge to get the correct or warm food. I can't see myself paying--when I already did--for their help with their own program. Seems silly to me. Unless I'm missing something? Steve

Bizarre. Someone else said they had the same problem, so I uninstalled my network drivers then let windows default them. Havn't had that screen in 4 or 5 days now?? Who knows.

Unless I'm missing something?Steve I suspect that the driver that is loaded by the ethernet adapter is not compatible. You may upgrade the driver. Please install Windows 7 compatible drivers. If the issue persists, you may need to find another driver that is compatible with Windows 7.Arthur Xie - MSFT
