Windows 7: Random BSODs

Hey all, I've had Windows 7 Pro x64 for 4-5 months, and I've been having random BSODs. I can't figure out what they're attributed to, as my machine always references essential Windows components. Here's my WhoCrashed log, minus the repetitive bits that don't help with diagnosis.

So. Anyone know what I can do?

Many different error messages is usually a symptom of a hardware failure (although there are other causes).
Please run these free diagnostics first:
I would also suggest following the steps in this link so that we can provide further assistance: http://www.sevenforums.com/crash-loc...d-problem.html

Thanks usasma. After running your tests, something pointed me to Dell's website. Apparantley they released a BIOS update to fix random BSODs. That seems to have ended most issues. Now it will rarely BSOD... but only when I'm not using the machine. I know it does because when I log onto it after being away for a while, it notifies me that it has "recovered from a serious error."

I'll submit a new thread using the guidelines from "How to ask for help with a BSOD problem" if I can't fix it soon.
