    HP Pavillion m9600t Windows 7 Home Premium keeps crashing


    HP Pavillion m9600t originally purchased 18-months ago with Vista. Upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium. The original Seagate hdd crashed recently. I replaced with a WD 7200rpm, 32mb, Black HDD. Reinstalled Windows 7 operating system. Everything appeared to work fine for a week. Then began to get one or two BSOD check sum errors; then Windows Explorer would stop working intermittently; this morning PC crashed then slowly re-booted into a BSOD and then quickly turned itself off. (So quickly I had no time to read the BSOD). Tried system repair without success. Ran diagnostic tool F9, all the hardware passed the test including the boot path. Scratching my head as to what to try next. Seeking help for other solutions?

    PS:
    I read in a forum elsewhere that there being a problem with the motherboard bios of m9600t? Is this related?
    (btw: I did download and install all the latest bios and software updates available for the m9600t from the HP site).

    CarlTR6 many thanks, as requested. Look forward to your feedback. I managed to restore PC from system image, although does not explain why it crashed in the first place.

    Will, thanks for uploading the files; unfortunately, there is no dump file uploaded. Restoring your PC from an image probably eliminated it. Do a search of your C: drive for "*.dmp" (without the quotes). If the search finds any, copy them to your desktop, zip them and upload them.

    I did look at the other files you uploaded and found three drivers with potential for causing crashes. These drivers are outdated and one is quite obsolete. Update these drivers:
    iaStor.sys 6/4/2009 - Intel Storage drivers. http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx. Update this driver.

    iaStorV.sys 4/8/2009 - Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver (base). http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx. Update this driver.
    This next driver is obsolete and is my suspect for your BSOD (since I have not seen the dump). Update this driver.
    e1y60x64.sys 8/18/2008 - Intel(R) 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection. http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Default.aspx.
    After you update these drivers, reboot and run your system. See if there is an improvement. Please let us know. If you get another BSOD, upload the dump file and we will go ffrom there.

    CarlTR6, many thanks for the advice. I was able to update e1y60x64.sys 8/18/2008 and iaStor.sys 6/4/2009.
    Your assessment about the dump file was correct. I could not find one after doing a search.
    Keep you posted on any progress.

    Return of the BSOD!


    Carl,
    I was hoping you would interpret this dump file for me. My suspicion is the issue relates to Windows back-up, perhaps a disk problem.
    (Pls note I changed the file extension from dmp to doc to enable the upload).
    Thx,
    Andrew
