    Thinkpad T400 Elite. Get BSODs all the time


    It all started when I installed Win 7 after a Linux usage for a couple of months. First I thought it was uTorrent that screwed it up so I removed it but it still gave BSODs at least once a day. Haven't had the energy to do anything about it until now so now I'm asking you guys for advice how to get rid of it.
    I have activated minidump in Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Setting in Startup and Recovery > Small memory dump (256KB) under System failure.
    Got a BSOD a couple of minutes ago but I didn't get a minidump output from it.

    Attached the four debug reports I got from SF Diagnostic Tool.

    Appreciate any help I can get,
    Johan

    Didn't see that thread, guess I read an old one =)

    Is Windows 7 . . .
    - x86 (32-bit) or x64 ?
    x64
    - the original installed OS on the system?
    Yes, it's from my OEM Recovery Discs
    - an OEM or full retail version?
    OEM

    - What is the age of system (hardware)?
    About 10months
    - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?)
    About 4months. Re-installed it in the beginning of the summer, before then I had Arch Linux on it without any problems.

    Hi,

    No minidumps were included - and no trace of any BSODs to be found in any of the logs.

    Check C:\Windows for a file called MEMORY.DMP - if there is one there can you zip it up and upload it (but to an external file host such as RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting due to the size of it)

    The only possible software cause that was immediately apparent to me - Panda Internet Security. 3rd party AVs/Firewalls have been known to cause problems and it would pay to remove it just in case.

    How can I uninstall my Panda antivirus 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008 from my computer? - Panda Security

    After removal install MSE - http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    However, the fact that no minidumps were created is often a sign of hardware problems.

    So, run the following hardware tests too.

    https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...t-prime95.html (run the Blend test as well as the Small FFT test)

    RAM - Test with Memtest86+

    Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark

    Also - in the system recovery control panel turn off the Automatically Restart option. Then next time you get a BSOD you should have time to take a photo of it for us to have a look at.
