Windows 7: Windows 7 Crashes Every Morning

It seems like every morning around 30 minutes after I start up my machine I get a BSOD and a reboot, this has started occurring since I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my machine. After it reboots it is fine, and if I leave it running all night it won't crash the next morning. Is there any reason why this is happening?

Here is what the error report looks like:

If you update some minidumps, it may be possible to explain why the machine is BSODing. Virtually every thread in this section has an explanation of what "minidumps" are and where to locate them on your machine.

The minidump file on my machine is 824 MB....

The ones in \Windows\Minidump, not "memory.dmp".

This folder is empty....

You've got no minidumps and yet a new memory.dmp is created with every BSOD? Are you quite sure (about the new memory.dmp being created each time)?

Yup, the new memory.dmp was created on Friday morning the last time I turned my machine on in the morning.

Minidumps are technically a summary of a full dump. In other words, the ability to correctly generate an intact full dump is a prerequisite for a minidump.

In situations where you're seeing a memory.dmp being created but not a corresponding minidump, the cause is almost always corruption or truncation of the full dump.

Make sure you're not rebooting the machine prematurely during the BSOD - let it finish when it says it's "dumping physical memory to disk".

Ok, I am not the one most of the times who forces the restart, it will start the dump get to around 30% and then restart, I have unchecked the auto restart when I get the BSOD but other times when I get there it says it is starting dumping but I could let it sit for 30 minutes and it doesn't even get to 1%....

Right click on My Computer, go to properties, advanced, startup and recovery..

Make sure your settings correspond...




Note, that's an xp screen shot, just the lower boxes you're looking at.

Edit, untick the "Automatically Restart" button, this way, you can read what the BSOD says.
