Crashes and BSODs on Acer Aspire 5740G
Hi guys, thats my first post in this forum!
I 'm having problems with my Acer Aspire 5740G laptop too. Blue screens are very frequent, and they occur mostly when I 'm listening to music or playing multimedia files in general, while I 'm not doing anything else (mostly). The BSODs are also strange, as they don't capture the whole screen, just a small piece (about 640*480 px) in the centre of it and the rest turns black. A strange repetitive noise starts (as if the music media I was listening to was "stuck"). I 've already contacted the Acer Support team in Greece, where I come from, but they told me I have to perform either a factory reset and reinstall the OS, or take the laptop to a service centre in Greece. However, both solutions are from painful to inapplicable: I 'm abroad right now for studies, I don't have sufficient storage means for a back-up and, finally, I don't have the install disks of software I use (e.g. Autocad etc) with me. Any proposal or solution (other than formating, which is a brutal tactic in this case) is kindly accepted. I attach crush dumps and perfmon system report. If you need ANY other hint, please ask for it.
Thank you very much for your time!

I 've already tried VERIFIER but I entered eventually in BSOD loop while booting so I had to restore the system.

I would be grateful if anyone could tell me how to examine myself my crash dumps, when I cannot find the cause of a BSOD by using Windows Error Reporting or Event Viewer.
