Important Information If You Have Received a STOP Code

If you have received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss. A hardware device, its driver, or related software might have caused this error. If your copy of Windows came with your computer, call the manufacturer of your computer. If you purchased Windows separately from your computer, Microsoft provides support. To find contact information for Microsoft or your computer manufacturer, Contact Support.
If you have experience with computers and want to try to recover from this error, follow the steps provided in the Microsoft article Resolving STOP (Blue Screen) Errors in Windows.
The following actions might prevent an error like this from happening again:

Download and install updates and device drivers for your computer from Windows Update.
Scan your computer for computer viruses.
Check your hard disk for errors.

Cause

Bug check 0x7F typically occurs after you install a faulty or mismatched hardware (especially memory) or if installed hardware fails.
A double fault can occur when the kernel stack overflows. This overflow occurs if multiple drivers are attached to the same stack. For example, if two file system filter drivers are attached to the same stack and then the file system recurses back in, the stack overflows.

Well I know what caused that, I think. My second HDD was being used for extra page file at the time of the bsod. Later checking my main HDD and the second one (used mainly for music and videos) It has bad sectors. Not much I can do on that but I removed the page file days ago. Now its not being used by the system at all, just backup really. I cannot replace it till this thai flooding stops because HDDs are just far too expensive. The main HDD is tested and flawless, tested by WD lifeguard.

As stated before, everything driver wise is up to date. If the HDD is not in use by the system for anything, can it really still cause an issue? That makes things harder for me, as I have had issue in the past with losing music/videos. The HDD was fine up until a month or 2 ago, I noticed when I went to click it, it took a second to show everything on it.

That has nothing to do with the other bsod though. And I say that because it happened before it had bad sectors.

Edit: Just used windows to do the bad sector repair, and it said it had no bad sectors.

Sorry to double post but here is a new bsod, by you guessed it! firefox. I'm guessing this was caused by the beta flash driver though. I decided to test it with the FF plugin container running. It doesn't seem to matter if its on or off, if its going to BSOD, its flash causing it.

Very frustrating.

edit: Now that I think about it. The time this all started is when I put my new 6850 in. Around that time anyway. Might have been a month or 2 after it actually happened. Not sure why. I currently disabled hardware acceleration though, see how that goes.

Again the plugin container was active at the time of the crash.

And this doesn't usually mean Its the cause? I had core temp causing a certain BSOD and removing it fixed that. If you're trying to make me believe its my hardware I told you already its all been tested by the means the "pros" here tell you to do it. All drivers are up to date. There is nothing left and it only happens while playing flash based streaming.

And what about the other active programs? Like msn, steam, MSE, and probably other active processes in the background? They don't show up, so obviously firefox was the cause of the bsod by accessing memory in a improper way.

I believe i fixed the problem though. The bsod stops when im not using that site. Watching on justin.tv site works without the issue.
