    Keep getting a BSOD for "ntoskrnl.exe"


    I don't know what happened to my post I put here yesterday. It looks like it didn't take, so here it is again. In the Attached Zip file, I have the BSOD Dump & System File Collection and the System Health Report.

    My Spec's are:

    SYSTEM MANUFACTURER: Self Built
    OS: Windows 7 Professional x64
    CPU: Intel i7-920 (2.67 GHz)
    MOTHERBOARD: ASUS-Rampage II Extreme MOBO
    MEMORY: 12GB OCZ Reaper (6 x 2GB) DIMM DDR3 PC3-8500U DDR3 1066 (7-7-7-16 4-26-8-4)
    GRAPHICS: EVGA Nvidia 470 GTX
    SOUND CARD: Supreme FX X-fi-Audigy
    MONITORS: 1x Samsung SyncMaster PX2370 LED (Main), 1x Samsung 226BW LCD (Secondary)
    SCREEN RESOLUTION: LED-1920x1080, LCD-1680x1050
    HARD DRIVES: 4 internal :
    2x120 GB Corsair SSD in a RAID 0
    1x 750 GB
    1x 1 TB Internal
    3 TB External
    PSU: Coolermaster 750 watt PSU
    CASE: Thermaltake-Spedo case
    COOLING: 8 Cooling Fans on case and inside case- AIR COOLED!
    MOUSE: Logitech G-9 Optical
    KEYBOARD: Logitech G-15 and G-13
    INTERNET SPEED: AT&T Uverse Internet
    Ping: 30 ms
    Download: 11.51 Mbps
    Upload: 1.47 Mbps

    I am inserting my "Who Crashed" report here as well. But as far as the nvdldmkm.sys BSOD, I think it's fixed as I haven't had that one in a while. All I did was disable the High Def audio in my Display driver. But as far as this one is concerned, I don't know what is going on. I just installed 2 x 120 GB Corsair SSD drives in a RAID 0.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance!
