Take minidump, drag to desktop. drop it. Right click it and "send to compressed folders" take zipped folder and attach it using the paperclip shaped icon in the top line of the reply form.
If the file still wont let you compress it you may need to take ownership of it.
How to ask a question.

above i have attached the minidump. i have no idea why i was having so many problems.
Have you customized any settings with Norton 360? Do you run the registry cleaner with it? If so, please refrain from running the registry cleaner.
- Many of us on the forums actually do not recommend automated optimization tools for Windows 7. Windows 7 does a much better job of handling its own optimization than its predecessors did. We especially do not recommend registry cleaning as an "optimization" step because automated registry cleaning causes more harm to the registry than it actually repairs.
In the future, if you need help optimizing Windows 7, please post a thread in Performance & Maintenance - Windows 7 Forums or follow the tutorial enclosed in that forum to Optimize Windows 7.
Your crash was DirectX/graphics card related. DirectX comes installed with Windows, so this may indicate Windows corruption. It may also be that you have corrupted drivers or a graphics card hardware problem.
- If you are overclocking any hardware, please stop.
- Check Windows for corruption. Run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker up to three times to fix all errors with a restart in between each. Post back if it continues to show errors after a fourth run or if the first run comes back with no integrity violations. Use OPTION THREE of SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker to provide us with the sfcdetails.txt file if errors occur.
Follow the steps for Diagnosing basic problems with DirectX. To re-install your display card drivers as outlined in the DirectX link, use the following steps.

- If any remain of the above, uninstall one at a time
- If asked to restart after uninstalling any of the above, do so, and continue uninstalling any remaining NVIDIA items until all are removed
- For AMD:
- Uninstall AMD Catalyst Install Manager if it is listed (this should remove all AMD graphics software and drivers)

There have been some problems on some systems with the 12.x drivers from AMD. Try 11.9 and then each of the drivers leading up to 12.4 and see if any provide better stability.
first run said no integrity violations about to uninstall the drivers for my video card. where will i find the 11.9 drivers?
Previous Catalyst is the best source.
Also, I had to look up your graphics card in your .nfo file to find out what you had. Could you please fill in your system specs in your profile and not in a post in this thread. That will make it easier for us to help you in the future if you have similar questions.
System Info - See Your System Specs will help with filling in your specs.
i have filled in my specs. lately i haven't had a BSOD but i have had just random freezes and i have to reboot my computer iorder for it work. i would like to just chunk it at ibuypower right about now.
since i have the 7750 i believe i have to have 12.2 or higher drivers.
my computer just blue screened attached the minidump
I have tried all drivers an none of them have worked.
I suspect maybe RAM, MOBO, or processor
