    Please upload the latest minidump file(s) so we can have a look at it (them).

    Since you've got a SideBySide error, I'd first wonder about your networking drivers. But that's just a guess until we see the memory dump files. This tends to be confirmed by your previous minidumps because they both occurred while using an internet aware application (firefox.exe).

    Here are my latest three dump files. I've had several BSODs but only three more dump files! I've been trying to get a bluetooth driver for my dongle since bluesoleil's drivers seems foreign to Win 7, same for Widcomm's drivers.

    Having had a look at the memory dumps, two of them appeared to be caused by Nod32 antivirus and one looks like it was caused by Systemcare. If you haven't got Systemcare then you possibly have malware on your system.

    I do have ESET smary security, I made sure to download the 64bits version, and I do have Advanced SystemCare too. Think I should get another antivirus as well as an alternative to SystemCare?

    I'm using AVG Free Edition. Just don't install the linkscanner. Don't know enough about SystemCare to comment on it.

    Something really weird happened, I went to sleep with my pc on, downloading and I woke up to find... ubuntu! I did have the installation cd in but I really have no idea how it got booted into ubuntu, I had not even installed the OS, it was the "try it and choose if you want to install".

    Windows update also found some driver updates, optional too, but I decided to install them anyway and now.. this and I found out that rimmptsk had to do with the RICOH drivers that windows updates downloaded and installed.

    The rimmptsk service failed to start due to the following error:
    The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

    Along with the two previous SideBySide and Kernel Power errors also. A clean install's the next step I guess, or would an upgrade do the trick?

    rimmptsk is your Ricoh MMC driver as you've discovered. I'd suggest trying to roll back the drivers to see if that helps. To do this, right click on the Ricoh device in Device Manager, select Properties, then select the Driver tab. The rollback button should be there.

    If that doesn't work, then download the latest driver for the Ricoh device from your system manufacturer's website. Then uninstall the current device (from Control Panel...Programs and Features...Uninstall a program if it's listed there) - then install the downloaded drivers. Also, if you don't use the device, you can just disable it in Device Manager.

    Also, if you're running more then one anti-virus please remove all but one. They can interfere with each other, and can even cause errors because of the low level that they're working on.

    Finally, if you're still having problems, try uninstalling the remaining anti-virus and then installing a fresh copy.

    I was using the beta version of the new Ashampoo burning studio, took it off and switched to a stable version and I've not crashed a single time since. This warning message in event viewer caught my attention though:

    The speed of processor 0 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 2 seconds since the last report.

    How did you figure out that it was the Ashampoo stuff that was causing the issues?

    I wonder if the system is shutting your CPU down due to inactivity. Check your power settings to see what's set in the Advanced settings. Try disabling the CPU throttle to see if the errors go away.

    I read somewhere that a burning software could actually make me crash. I was using a beta version too. My system's been pretty stable lately except for this crash - minidump added.

    I've been having a LOT of error messages in event viewer concerning my connection. None made me crash though.

    The Peer Name Resolution Protocol service terminated with the following error:
    %%-2140993535

    The Peer Name Resolution Protocol cloud did not start because the creation of the default identity failed with error code: 0x80630801.

    Repeated errors too. Driver problems perhaps?
