BSOD every 30min - 1hr :(

have you tried a clean boot?

click start and in the search box, type: msconfig

on the "startup" tab click the "deselect all" radio button. then comes the time consuming part... restart the computer, go back to the startup tab and enable two entries at a time. repeat until you find the problem entry, or everything in startup is enabled.
that will confirm whether or not the BSOD is caused by software. if the problem persists, its probably hardware related.

I thought about that - and a bisection search. That is time consuming. Maybe on the weekend. Thanks for the suggestion.

Started a couple weeks back, but its happening much too frequently. Happens when I'm browsing the net (but thats most of my computer time) - doesn't matter which browser. I did a fresh install of Windows 7 x64 today, but the same issue persists.
Software installed:after reinstalling windows: Zone Alarm, 7Zip, UltraISO, Avast AntiVirus, Malwarebytes, iTunes, VLC, Quicktime, RIM, ATI Catalyst, Gigabyte Drivers, Printer Driver, Mouse Driver

Windows 7 64bit full retail version
Hardware about 1 year old.
Help me please! This is unbearable.

To be honest the two crashes havent yielded much information. I would start by removing all the following that have been known to cause BSOD's
Zone Alarm, Avast, malwarbytes, and replace them with Microsoft Security Essentials, and the win 7 firewall.

I would also remove any virtual HD software like daemon tools/alcohol.

I would also run a system file check
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

And finally update the below drivers

If these dont stop the BSOD's we will at least have a better idea where to go (I think driver verifier is next)
