Hal.Dll BSODs at Random Intervals

Hi, Sevenforums community!

I've been experiencing BSODs lately, most of them related to hal.dll, I thought maybe they were related to an overclock, so I went back down to stock speeds and got one again about a week later. Not sure what might be causing them.

I've uploaded the last few BSODs dating back to March. Hope you all can help, thank you so much!

That is probably the worst file to have a corrupt error message for and the thing is that it might not even be that file that is corrupted. I would either do a clean install or restore from backup however you can try a repair first. Repair Install

Not corrupted, eh? What could be wrong outside of that? I was hearing that that .dll has to do with overheating or something?

That file is the interface between the OS and the hardware so if it isn't that file it could be any other OS file trying to access the computer (such as the kernel) or it could be hardware. I'd start with a repair or a reinstall.

That seems so invasive for this, no other options? A repair doesn't seem like the worst option, though.. won't lose too much, no?

Information
This will show you how to do a repair install (aka: in-place upgrade install) to fix your currently installed Windows 7 and preserve your user accounts, data, programs, and system drivers.

You should back up your files, pictures, music, and program installers first to be safe but this is such a low level file that there really isn't any other option. Frankly I'm surprised that you don't get blue a screen every time you boot up.

Thank you, I updated my info. and filled in some other boxes.

Here you are. :)
