Random system files causing BSOD's
Hey all,
I am typically one that like to troubleshoot things, but in this instance, I am at a bit of a loss on how to fix this one. Any recommendations towards a solution would be fantastic at this point.... as I am super busy with work and other things and just simply don't have the time lately to effectively troubleshoot this
Since I have built this system, I have received various BSOD crashes and cannot seem to put my finger on what the problem may be. I say that thinking that perhaps it is the operating system itself. I have a computer build on which I dual boot from two SSDs, one for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, one from Windows XP Professional 32-bit. The XP partition is the one I'm using as of late because of this problem
Seeing various system files being deemed as the root cause of this. The list currently shows as follows, which should show in the DMP files provided:
hal.dll
ntoskrnl.exe
CLFS.sys
nvlddmkm.sys
The operating system when loaded up using the Win7 partition will be doing something as simple as browsing the internet, watching movies on Windows Media Center, or even when I leave for work and leave the PC idle. I cannot determine what is causing this to happen. The other operating system works absolutely fine which leads me to draw away from a hardware issue. Memory and hard drives have checked out ok as well. I was overclocking the processor at first, but since this began happening, I put them BIOS back to default settings to stop overclocking the CPU. Yet, the BSOD's still occur.
I will leave this for review. Again, any point in the right direction with this would be beneficial. I am in the middle of a move and have a lot going on, and hate to put this on someone elses shoulders to look at, but if someone can at least review the minidump files I provided... and even give me a pointer on how to go about learning to review them, I would truly appreciate it. Thanks!
