Major BSODs
Just minutes ago, while I was browsing the net, the computer BSODed, first with an 0x50 page fault in non paged area. The surprising thing about it was that it did not create a dump file or even begin to do so. I hit the restart button and was faced with another BSOD of 0x07 (I think), and it didn't create a dump file either, but it did list the CI.dll at the bottom.
Hitting the restart again didn't get even that far, because all that happened was that the fans turned and the component light internal to the case lit, but the monitor remained black as though it was getting no signal, but with no message to that effect.
I'm fairly certain that this is going to require a major breakdown and diagnosis to solve, but the fact that what I Googled seemed to indicate that the CI.dll is associated with a BHO of the adware variety and the fact that I indeed was using FF, and that the BSOD occurred the very instant that I clicked on a button on pcidatabase.com, seemed a bit coincidental to be nothing more than a regular hardware failure of some kind.
I know that no one can offer any advise on how to directly solve the problem, without more information that I won't have until later, but on the off chance that this rings any bells, I would sure like to hear what they say?
