recurring blue screens
Hello,
I am running Windows 7 /64 bits on a brand new system Asus M4A89TD Pro/ USB3 with AMD64 (phenom II) configuration and experience from time to time a blue screen (once per day).
Contrarily to inital suspicions, I can state that this is not a RAM issue : firstly because I do not experience any problem on Ubuntu 10.04.1 /amd64 on the same hardware, and secondly because a full memtest loop during a whole night did not reveal any issue with the memory.
I had my first crash on windows when I tried to install PCTools antispyware (at the beginning of the installation process). I am also running ZoneAlarm Pro /64 bits and did not remove it yet. I am not convinced that ZA is the culprit because I experienced crash outside browsing activities.
I attach the whole config as recommended, taken before the last 3 crashes.
I also include below an output of "whocrashed" which shows that 90% of the time the bugcheck code is totally identical: 0x7F (0x8, 0x80050031, 0x6F8, 0xFFFFF80002C45D28)
Help and advice will be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.

This program checks for drivers which have been crashing your computer.
Whenever a computer suddenly reboots without displaying any notice or blue screen of death, the first thing that is often though about is a hardware failure. In reality, on Windows most crashes are caused by malfunctioning device drivers and kernel modules. In case of a kernel error, most computers do not show a blue screen unless they are configured to do so. Instead these systems suddenly reboot without any notice.
This program does post-mortem crash dump analysis with the single click of a button.

Conclusion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is really responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.
