BSOD when laptop sitting idle
Hi,
The laptop is an Acer Aspire 5741 with 3GB memory running Windows 7 64bit with all updates.
The laptop often shows BSOD after it has been sitting idle for maybe half an hour or so, and is happening about once a day. Sometimes it will crash as soon as it boots up.
I have tried the following:
Run CHKDSK......No errors
Run Memtest 64+.... This occasionally shows one error always at the same address and displays Good ffffffff Bad fffff7f However I have run mdsched.exe many times and this shows no errors.
I have removed the Windows August updates and finally in desperation performed a Win 7 re-install from an ISO disk running it as an upgrade, Still I have the same problem.
I have attached the minidump zip file and wondered if this would give a clue as to whether or not it may be to do with the memory.
