The DMP itself doesn't point to a hard drive issue; it suggests a generic hardware problem. I found that hard drive controller log in the Event Logs, and the rest is just coming from experience.

Well, here is the latest. This time I had to physically restart the computer about twenty times to get it to fully boot. When I boot it it either goes into that loop between restarting and asking me if I want to run start up repair or load normally, or it eventually goes to the Windows screen and just never loads entirely, just sitting there pulsating. Sometimes I get it to boot to desktop, and the sound is not working, but then I can restart using windows and the computer runs fine for a while.
I still see that old BIOS version showing; try flashing it to the latest found here: ECS Web Site
While I don't have high hopes for this fixing the problem, it should still be done: install the latest nVidia drivers from here: Drivers - Download NVIDIA DriversCode:BiosReleaseDate = 05/20/2009
Was that the Prime95 test? Give Memtest86 a shot as well: RAM - Test with Memtest86+Well we did every RAM test we could find, including taking and putting one stick in the computer and running it at a time, no dice.

I do not know if this is relevant or not, but when I run Ubuntu on this machine it never has any problems at all. So whatever is wrong, it does not happen when I am using Linux.
I updated the driver for my motherboard. I guess we shall see if that helps at all.
