    BSOD about once a week


    Is Windows 7 Ultimate x64

    - originally Vista Ultimate x64 (OEM) and XP Prof x86(full retail version) was installed with dual boot.

    The system is 2 years
    old.

    I formatted and installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 about a month ago. No more dual boot.

    I have BSOD's at about once a week and do not know what it is that is causing it. I've run "WhoCrashed"
    everytime it does crash, but could not get any info that would give me an idea of what the problem could be.

    Hi.
    Ur minidumps point to ntkrnlmp.exe
    Some info for this error: Error message: "Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem" and NTOSKRNL.EXE is missing or corrupt.

    Ok, so what would that mean? Since 99% of the time Win 7 is running perfectly. I did find though that the last few times that it happened, I was not at my laptop, I wonder if it could have anything to do with power saving?

    Aaaand we talk for the 1%
    Each of ur minidumps shows ntkrnlmp.exe together with something different each time.
    So...
    Removed avg,instal mse
    Remove,update nvidia driver
    Run chkdsk /r
    Run memtest
    Wait and post back with any results.
