Can you upload the contents of c:\windows\minidump to your SkyDrive and provide a link? Consider the following general guidance for dealing with blue screens: Consider running chkdsk on all partitions. Let chkdsk complete on each partition and see if that helps. It can be helpful to use Driver Verifier. To enable Driver Verifier... start->verifier.exe->OK->Create standard settings->Next->select driver names from a list->Next->sort by Provider->select all non-Microsoft drivers->Finish, and OK your way out of the dialog. Then, reboot and use the system as you normally would, and wait for a problem. In the event that the system does not boot completely after enabling driver verifier, boot into Safe Mode and run driver verifier, and tell it to delete the changes. Wait for a bugcheck to occur after enabling verifier as described, and then upload the dump to your SkyDrive, and provide a link. Also consider running SFC /SCANNOW. If you boot into safe mode, do you still experience bugchecks? What about if you do a clean boot, or device clean boot? Consider testing memory with Windows Memory Diagnostic or memtest86. Note that memory that passes tests is not necessarily good memory - it just hasn't failed a test. Consider systematically eliminating RAM from the system - run with a couple of modules for a while, and see how things go. Then try the other modules. Other common suggestions include ensuring drivers are up to date, as well as ensuring that you're using the latest BIOS.
