    Hardware related blue screens - Please help!


    Hello

    I have been struggling with BSOD's for a very long time now but it has only gotten worse, so it is now time for me to get rid of it.

    PC info:
    - Windows 7 64-bit full retail version
    - CPU: Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 @ 2.83GHz
    - Motherboard: Asus P5QL Pro
    - RAM: DIMM1: 2x Corsair XMS2 CM2X2048-6400C5 2 GB DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM --- 4 GB total
    - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 (896 MB)


    I have just formatted my PC a couple of days ago and it still blue screens when i'm playing video games, so I guess it has to be hardware related.
    I have been running memtest two times with 1 RAM stick in my pc each time and both came out clean with no errors whatsoever.

    So what could it be then?
    -Motherboard
    -CPU
    -Graphics card
    -Hard drive
    -PSU

    Is there any software that can test these parts of my PC so I can narrow this down and find the hardware problem?

    If anyone has an idea on how to fix this please let me know.

    I am willing to spend money on new parts if they are broken.

    Hi

    Welcome to Seven Forums :)

    Have a look at this post on how to collect the data required for the BSOD Squad - Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions
    Also have a look at this thread from the Gaming Section of the forum - Tips on Troubleshooting Game Issue

    Could you also list your current power supply model/make and the anti-virus/internet security suite that you have installed?

    Thanks and regards

    I wasn't sure if I should upload dump files since it is hardware related. But if it can give you information about my problem I will gladly do so! Since I just formatted my PC I only have 2 dump files. I will upload them in about an hour when i get home from work.

    We'll look at your .dmp files and see if we can pin it down a bit as soon as you upload them..

    Ok Lets start here.


    1-SPTD.SYS used in alcohol/daemon tools. It must be removed

    ASACPI.sys Sun Mar 27 22:30:36 2005
    The 2005 version of this driver is a known BSOD cause.
    Please visit this link: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support- download_item_mkt
    Scroll down to the Utilities category, then scroll down to the "ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Windows 7 32&64-bit " (it's about the 8th item down).
    Download and install it.
    Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers to check and make sure that the ASACPI.sys file is date stamped from 2009 or 2010 (NOT 2005).

    2-HID/USB this is also causing problems.

    Run system file check to verify and repair them

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    Hello and thanks for checking out the dump files!

    1. That must have been poweriso then, that's what i used to burn Memtest to a dvd. It's uninstalled now.

    2. I did that now and it didn't find any violations.
