BSOD on a new Hard Drive, fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Hello everyone,

I've just installed a new hard drive and a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on it, and I just received two BSODs within minutes of each other, citing ntoskrnl.exe with SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION on BlueScreenView. I had periodical blue screens before my last HDD died so it's most likely something else causing it, maybe hardware... but not sure how to tell what. I've attached the necessary files.

Is Windows 7 . . .
- x64
- the original installed OS on the system? Yes
- Full retail version

- What is the age of system (hardware)? About 5 years
- What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) Two days

Thanks in advance for the help!

ASACPI.sys Sun Mar 27 20:30:36 2005 (42476C4C)

Older versions of ASACPI.SYS are a known BSOD problem on Windows 7. Update the driver by:

1. Going to the Asus motherboard support site
   When you reach the website:
2. Scroll down the page and click Utilities
3. Hold Ctrl and press f (ctrl+f) to enter the browser's find feature
4. Search for "ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Win7 32&64-bit" (without quotes)
5. Download and install the driver.
6. After installation is complete, verify that it installed correctly.
   
   • Click Start Menu
   • Click My Computer
   • Go to C:\WIndows\System32\drivers\
   • Verify that the ASACPI.SYS file is dated 2009 or newer (2010,etc.)

Well, just got another blue screen while playing a video game. I think it may have been the video drivers crashing, because the image froze and then blue screened while the audio skipped. I was playing Heroes of Newerth at the time, and it looks like the Blue Screen View cites ntoskrnl and ndis.sys. Any ideas about this one? Attached are the new files. I ran the Perfmon while Heroes of Newerth was still running just in case, so that's why it says the memory is low.

I also updated my Specs for you to peruse. Thanks!
