    Seemingly random BSODs that I cannot reliably reproduce


    I have had four BSODs recently, two with error code 0xA and the two older crash dumps occurred on system sleep/resume. I do not know much about what caused the first two, they seemed to happen when I put my laptop to sleep with very low battery but haven't happened since because I've been careful to watch the battery a bit better. The third occurred while streaming a .mkv file to my PS3 with PS3 Media Server. It was about an hour into streaming when the BSOD occurred. My video card drivers were old at the time, so I upgraded them trying to fix it but obviously I haven't fixed it yet. I also ran Memtest86+ which could find no memory errors.

    The most recent BSOD occurred while I was transferring some files with Filezilla. I also had Chrome open with a few tabs, but the laptop was not excessively hot or anything. The transfer had been running for about 10 minutes when the crash happened. I have attached the results of running the jcgriff2 BSOD Dump & System File collection app and system health report. More than anything, I'm worried about the most recent 2 BSODs. I'm pretty sure I've got the older ones figured out, but I have attached them so that they may help.

    The system is
    Windows 7 Professional x64
    MSDNAA edition
    Original OS installed was Windows Vista
    Windows 7 was installed ~1.5-2 years ago
    Model: Acer Aspire 6930-6942

    That makes a lot of sense come to think about it. Both times a BSOD occurred were during heavy WLAN usage. I've updated the driver to the latest version and will report back if any more problems occur. Everything seems to be running great now.
