BSOD after OS re-installation

Snapp · 23 May 2011

Hello! I have recently encountered multiple BSODs over the last few days. I initially thought that it was OS related, and my first course of action was to re-install Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit. Unfortunately, I am still suffering the same BSOD issues I had prior OS re-installation. I had just finished my 2nd re-install today when I suffered another BSOD crash! This system was initially built in April 2007, with upgrades to RAM, Video Card, and Hard drive over the last 18 months. After researching these symptoms, I must assume that this is a hardware related issue. Any help you can provide in tracking down the source of my problems, would be greatly appreciated!
