Win7 crashes with BSOD F4

I'm looking for some help on analysis of a dump file. Win7 machine continues to get a F4 bluescreen a couple times a day. I've loaded the Windbg tools to try to analyze the memory.dmp file but I don't think I"m getting all the info out of it. Here's what it's showing me:

The message VISTA_DRIVER_FAULT would seem to indicate it's a driver issue but I don't believe I have any Vista drivers on the machine. I got the newest Win7 drivers from the Dell site. I can't upload the memory.dmp file b/c it's 100mb zipped, too big to upload. Any help is appreciated.

Hi and welcome
You could park the dmp file on an external service like rapidshare etc

My old computer is down now with Windows 7 crashes lock up's, stalls.

My new computer HP Pavilion, 2 weeks old., COSTCO purchase, is running just hunkey dorey with Windows 7.

It's assumed to be all about compatibility issues as pertains to crashes, lock up's

I have uploaded the dump file incase anyone can check it out with a debugger and garner more info than I.

RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting

Please update your "My System Specs" (lower left corner). motherboard model, graphics card, sound card, power supply, etc.

done. pretty standard Dell Latitude E6400 laptop.

Most probably there are corrupted system files caused by a bad harddrive.
Check event viewer for critical errors and run Hdd Regenerator/Hdat2, C: chkdsk /R and manufacturer hdd test.
