BSOD fresh install, error 0x1e , 0x24, etc

The following drivers need to be updated:

Code:

etdrv.sys    Fri Mar 20 13:59:06 2009
gdrv.sys     Fri Mar 13 14:22:29 2009

These drivers can be found by searching them in Google and then finding the associated software or driver. Finally, find the latest version of this driver or software and download and install it. Some of the drivers may also be found here (if the driver says 'Windows Update' simply make sure all Windows Updates are installed).

You should also update any other drivers you can think of including graphics, audio, chipset etc.

I might also ask what anti-virus are you using? I can't seem to find one in your dump file.

If you use Speedfan, make sure not to change any of the settings in it. It can cause fans to not work as they were intended (I caused this on a GPU at one point and had to reset its settings). The only blue screen monitoring tools include hardware testing utilities. There aren't really any reliable tests for software causes other than the debugging tools we use on the forum to analyze the .dmp files.

There are some programs out there that check whether a system's drivers are up to date, but they are not reliable. Many of the automated driver update programs find driver updates for hardware that is similar but not exactly the same as that in the system. I have seen these updates cause device manager to show devices that are not working properly because the wrong driver is installed. I tested a few out and found this on my own system because I wanted to see if the software was safe to recommend on here. I now recommend avoiding these programs.

I can list some hardware tests that are safe to use as long as temperatures are monitored. I can also list temperature monitoring software. Let me know if you would like these.

I'll now leave you in the very capable hands of JaidynM for the crash analysis.
