Random blue screen of death occuring about 2 times a week

Hi there ! I'm new here and I'm afraid I have an error that's been going on for some months now. I am starting to think it's from the video card, since last night I added another display and today when I tried to run Star Wars The Force Unleashed (2008) it gave me the BSOD. Here is the error afetr restart:

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit since December 2010, before that I used Windows XP SP2.
Windwos 7 is full retail version. The motherboard, cooler, PSU abd RAM have been added in December 2010, replacing the old ones. The video card has been added in July 2009, replacing a NVIDIA GeForce 5500. The last Windows reinstall was in April 2011.

Please advise.

At least two obvious problems to start

1-Please remove any CD visualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%.

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

Use this SPTD uninstaller DuplexSecure - Downloads DuplexSecure - FAQ

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


2-Your Avast. I woud remove and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials at least to test.

Virus, Spyware & Malware Protection | Microsoft Security Essentials

Anyone?

Thank you for the quick response. I have done everything you have told me using the software provided. The BSOD took palce again after the Windows boot screen when I restarted the PC after I uninstalled DT. Now I am receiving the attached error at every Windows login.

I've installed Microsoft Security Essentials and will install Magic ISO when I come back fom work today. How can I fix the error I receive now ? I looked in Add/Remove and in CCleaner and none of them can find any DT on my PC.

That error means that you did not completely un-install the daemon tools. Please use the removal tool.

If you are still having BSOD's please upload them to us.

OK, if I have any more I will make a new thread and leave a link to this one. For now the system appears to be stable. Thank you for the help!
