Multiple BSOD with no apparent pattern/reason
I've been getting the BSOD for weeks at very random times. I cannot find a common pattern to the BSOD as the error messages I receive seem to differ time after time. I've tried to do a lot of research via the web to try and solve the issue myself, but to no avail.
Most recently I've seen SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION as the BSOD error.
Analysis with WhoCrashed reveals issues with the ntoskrnl.exe module on my computer after BSOD. Thinking there was something wrong/corrupted with Windows 7, I've did a fresh re-install of Windows 7 (backed up files, did a complete reformat of hard drive, reloaded a fresh copy of Windows 7). Unfortunately the BSOD reappeared within 24 hours of the re-install.
As I see it, there are two options: 1) configuration issues that keep reoccurring i.e. driver incompatibility or 2) hardware failure issues
To try to solve a configuration/driver issues, I've worked to update all the drivers that I can find for my system, as well as all software and anything else I can think to update. No luck in solving the problem. The BSOD reappears every few days. I've searched the web trying to find driver incompatibility issues, but haven't been able to nail anything down.
This leads me to believe it is a hardware issue. So I've run Memtest86 for eight passes (for several hours) and found no errors in memory. I also ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic with the Extended setting for seven passes and also found no errors with the memory. I can't imagine it being a hard drive issue as I would assume any corrupted files in bad sectors would be moved to a different part of the hard drive after a complete reformat and re-install of the OS. Is there a way to test the processor? Graphics card? What else hardware wise could cause so may different errors with a BSOD?
I need some more help...
My computer information is as follows:
Gateway GT5678
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with SP1
4.00 GB RAM
2.4 GHz quad core Intel Core2 processor
AMD ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT display adapter
700 GB Hard drive
I attached both the WhoCrashed results and the system dump files.
