About a week ago ... had a fairly large windows update, then started getting these errors. By hardware, are you talking memory?
Would having a swap file in a different partition of the same drive be an issue?

No, I mean RAM or CPU - those are the only ways you'd get off by one bit errors. As far as the updates go, if you revert to a restore point prior to that update, does the problem persist?
No changes. I'm going to verify the memory settings as per the SuperTalent site.
CL - 5
ECC - N
Voltage - 1.8v
Some updates ...
Cas Latency was set to 'Auto', changed it to 5 per SuperTalent site documentation.
Error Correction was enabled, disabled it per SuperTalent site.
Voltage was set to 1.55v, changed it to 1.8v per SuperTalent site
There is a Bios Setting 'PnP available OS' which was set to No, I set to Yes so Windows will control PnP devices.
'Unknow Device' is gone.
'MS virtual wifi miniport adapter' is gone too ...
I'll let you know how it goes ... thanks people!!
Will do ...
Question though ... what does the error checking do and would a lower then expected voltage cause instability of the memory stick?
If it isn't volted to the correct specs from the vendor or the mobo manufacturer, yes indeed it can.
cluberti is much more skillful with memory dumps than I am, please heed his advice.
There were 5 BSOD's yesterday and they all blame memory corruption.
Please start out with the free diagnostics here: Hardware Diags
Good luck!
Its a purchased version from Microsoft. I work in education and they have discounts for certain software ... Windows 7 Pro was one of them. Its a fully activated and legal version
There have been no other issues so far ... could be my imagination, but it seems to boot quicker too.
