Random multiple BSOD, including during re-install of Windows 7
Hi, I have a Sony Vaio that started giving BSODs very frequently (about every 20-30 min). Can occur at any time, whether browsing or working. I first noticed a CPU performance issue (running at near 100% all the time). Upgraded memory from 4GB to 8 (max this laptop can hold). Then started getting BSODs.
I then replaced HDD, but can't get past a clean installation of Windows 7 as it crashes with HIDclass.sys BSOD. Disconnected mouse (only USB device I have), still crashes during install. Had to reinsert old drive to get online. With old HDD in place I can't even get past a Windows repair with the recovery disks as it crashes during that, and always seems to be some new fault (athrx.sys, dxgkrnl.sys, npfs.sys, ntfs.sys...)
Specs: Vaio VPCf-11kfx/b Windows 7 home premium 64 bit.

Ran all sorts of system checks (memtest, chkdsk, etc.) all hardware passed. Updated all drivers through Vaio care.
I hope someone can look at the minidump files and see if it is a hardware issue I'm having. Thanks!
