    Please remove any CD virtualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%.

    They use a driver, found in your dmp,sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs.

    Use this SPTD uninstaller DuplexSecure - Downloads

    when you're done you can use this Freeware MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM(MagicDisc) in its place.

    Code:
    smwdm.sys    3/28/2005 10:19:36 AM    0x9190f000    0x91944f40    0x00035f40    0x42481278                            
    e100b325.sys    11/16/2007 02:53:32 PM    0x9188b000    0x918b1e00    0x00026e00    0x473de72c
    How To Find Drivers:
    - search Google for the name of the driver
    - compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
    - visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
    - if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.
