Frequent Random BSOD
Hi,
I'm Andy, I'm new to the forum and hoping somebody would be able to help me diagnose my problem before I finish pulling all my hair out lol.
I have a Dell dimension 9200 pc which I've had 2-3 years with no probs.
About 2 weeks ago I decided to upgrade to windows 7 ultimate 32bit, my pc is capable of 64 bit but decided to stick with 32bit. Anyway, this is when all the problems started although I dont think windows 7 is to blame, I think it was just coincedence that the problems started at this point as I have tried reverting back to windows vista and still have the same problems.
I installed windows 7 ultimate 32bit from a clean install and ever since I have had lots of random bsod crashes, sometimes when booting windows 7, other times whilst using windows 7. I've had periods where it has taken 9-10 attempts to get windows 7 to boot without a bsod appearing.
Everytime I get a bsod its different from the time before, I've had a wide range of crashes caused by several different drivers.
Anyway, I installed all dell drivers from the disk supplied with the pc, I then purchased a program called drivermax which determined that I had 17 out of date drivers, all of which have now been updated.
I have run seagate seatools hard drive diagnostics and found no errors and I've also run memtest86+ for 20 hours and found 3 errors which can be seen in the attached jpeg image.
I've also attached the last 13 minidump files, there were many more but I deleted the ones before.
Windows 7 is also freezing up, some times for a few second and then becomes active again, other times it freezes and won't respond to anything meaning a manual reboot is required.
Desktop manager also keeps stopping.
I'm presuming all these are linked to one cause, this windows has only been installed a couple of days as I tried a clean install again to try correct the problem to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and any more info thats needed, please ask
Many thanks in advance
Andy
