BSOD on restart, occasionally startup, error 0x0000003B

I have recently been having problems with my Windows 7 x64 machine with it's specs listed in my system info.

The problem initially was intermittent freezes when turning on and shutting down my computer. When I turned it on the Windows logo animation would stop before it finished, freeze for a few seconds and then jump to the Windows welcome screen. Most of the time it would make it to the desktop, but sometimes the loading orb would stop moving and I would have to restart the computer to make it to the desktop. In addition, sometimes when I shutdown the PC it would freeze on the shutdown screen (blue with loading/progress orb) and I would have to do a hard shutdown. Sometimes there would be a BSOD, sometimes there wouldn't be. One of the blue screens, which I have attached a picture of, froze on "Collecting data for crash dump..." These problems seemed to have gone away after I update my graphics card drivers and switched from the AMD AHCI driver to the default Microsoft AHCI driver.

Today the problems seem to have returned. When I restarted my computer after disabling "Tablet PC Components" the screen became pink and purple with artifacts and lines. It then went went straight to a BSOD with the error code in the title. I was able to restart and use the SF diagnostics tool and have attached the files it collected.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Edit: The startup animation issue persists. Before the Windows logo glows but after the four colors have started to move it stops. The screen then jumps to the welcome screen.

Hello amf66.

The dumps you uploaded are very old, and does not match with the screenshot you supplied. Analyzing the dumps, and other files you supplied, I have found some strange situation, and in my best opinion you should start afresh.

Follow the guide Clean Up Factory Bloatware with a special consideration to the point #13.

13. Consider a Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 which is often better than getting a new computer considering how pre-installed bloatware can corrupt Windows 7 even if it's completely cleaned up.

If still it crashes, we will need to go for the hardware checks, but at first you should clean up a lot of junks installed and/or need to have a perfect reinstall.

OK, go to Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD ... option two, point 2. Download the .reg file and merge it.

Upload the next dump.

But, better you follow the instruction I have given you previously, if it is not a big problem for you.

OK, then let us proceed ... but due to lack of necessary information, the speed of progress will be slow.

Let us start with free up the startup.

1. Click on the Start button
2. Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
3. Select the “Startup” tab.
4. Deselect all items other than the antivirus. (MSC in your case)
5. Apply > OK
6. Accept the restart.

Do it, and let us know the result.

upload your MSINFO32.nfo file, for one more time after making the changes as you said.

1. Click on the start button
2. Type "msinfo32" (without quotes) in the search bar of the start menu, click the resulting link. It will open the System Information window.
3. File>Save. In the "File Name" filed, put "MSINFO32" (without Quote), give the save location to desktop, and click the "save" button.
4. Give the time for processing, it will save a .nfo file on your desktop.
5. Zip it, and upload it following the instruction.

Do one more thing. Uninstall all the ASUS and MSI programs you have installed.

Those are not needed, and sometimes they may make various issues.
