    Thanks for the quick reply :)

    Funny you should mention readyboost, i did have it enabled before these BSOD happened, but i disabled it after i ran a test on my USB,

    as for the drivers, i think that they are updated to the latest release dates, manufacturers website (as well as Gigabyte ) and intel for storage matrix all show that my drivers are up to date.

    OK lets try with ready boost off. One or two more BSODs giving the names of various drivers will mean a driver verification test. I am hoping that this, or maybe the next, report gives the correct driver. This one said memory or driver, but since the others say driver, I think that is the most likely suspect.

    Enable the Driver Verifier

    If it were for just one, we would just update. At this point, I feel that it is a driver, but do not know which one.

    Just realized the BSOD may not have been caused by readyboost, but its drivers were in use. Are you sure it was off. I dont understand that.

    You can check the status page for real time stats.

    Back up your stuff, they can be lost with verifier
    Run for 36 hours or more


    Driver Status

    The Driver Status property page gives you an image of the current status of Driver Verifier. You can see what drivers the verifier detects. The status can be one of the following:
    • Loaded: The driver is currently loaded and verified.
    • Unloaded: The driver is not currently loaded but it was loaded at least once since you restarted the computer.
    • Never Loaded: The driver was never loaded. This status can indicate that the driver's image file is corrupted or that you specified a driver name that is missing from the system.
    You can click the list header to sort the list by driver names or status. In the upper-right area of the dialog box, you can view the current types of the verification that are in effect. The status of the drivers is updated automatically if you do not switch to manual refresh mode. You can modify the refresh rate using the radio buttons in the lower-left area of the dialog box. You can also force an update of the status by clicking Update Now.
