Hello Finlay and welcome to Sevenforums.

BSOD Analyse

I believe I've found your issue. You have a wireless USB adapter yes? They don't usually run very good with Windows. I'd suggest you to update the driver if you desire to continue using it.

Code:

Name    [00000007] NETGEAR WNDA3100v2 N600 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter

Code:

SCMNdisP     General NDIS Protocol  General NDIS Protocol  Kernel        Boot       Running    OK         TRUE        FALSE        4,096      12,288     0      17/01/2007 07:48:03    C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\scmndisp.sys         4,096

Do this, and we'll continue if the problem continues.

well i don't think that is the issue i accidently damage windows and could not correct it, so formatted hard drives and reinstalled windows, got blue screen of death during the first use.
so must be a hardware problem but since every thing now left in the computer is no more than a week old don't know what it could be.
will have to re-upload new details on what caused that last blue screen.

Hello again,

Alrighty-

Any sort of overclocking should be stopped. Overclocking is obviously producing a lot of heat. Also make sure that you're not having a motherboard feature that overclocks your computer automatically.
Make sure that your computer is running cool. Install Speedfan for instance, and make sure that fans are running at the right speed. Also track down weird or noisy sounds.
Windows 7 may have bugs in the OS if you ain't updating. Make sure that Windows Update is running on automatic updates, and not manual, or the 'never' feature.
Let's stress test some of the hardware. The most common causer within hardware would be the memory -

Quote:

There could be a driver could be causing the memory to be borked, but we're usually suggesting a memory test before moving forward. Do a scan with Memtest86+. Memtest is a scanner that'll check your sticks for errors. To ensure that we'll know if it's the slots on the motherboard that's broken, or the sticks itself - we have a little procedure we'll recommend. Remove 1 stick, scan the other with Memtest in the current slot. After 7 passes, move the stick to another slot and scan, and so on and so forth until you've scanned all the sticks, and all the slots, one by one.

Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

The next would be your processor -

Prime is a stress testing tool for CPU's.

If you have your system under warranty, consider replacing it.

Andreas,
Be sure to:
Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions

Question for you: If you boot into SAFE MODE, is the problem gone?

Aeneas Finlay · 09 Jul 2012

yeah it has not crashed when in safe mode, but since sometimes it can take a while to crash might just of been luck
done the memory test and replaced memory and did new test on new memory and it was fine
will try the processor test tomorrow

Great, we might also want to run Driver Verifier soon as it didn't crash in safe mode, but I want to do one troubleshoot at a time. By that we all won't get confused.
