BSOD assistance requested please - newish install, new user
Hello
I'm quite familiar with installing/using XP but I have recently upgraded to Win 7 32 bit Pro. I got a deal at the end of 2009 to buy an "upgrade" CD which I downloaded from MS - you can upgrade an existing XP installation.
I installed a clean XP OS (32 bit Pro) then upgraded to Win 7 32 bit Pro. It worked fine for about a week, during which time I installed no new hardware but did install Firefox, Thunderbird, Google Sketchup and a few software utilities.
So to sum up:
X86 32 bit Pro, downloaded from MS as an upgrade (MD5 matched OK)
H/W is perhaps 4 years old
OS is a fortnight old
The attached perfmon and jcgriff files are contained in the attached Windows_NT6_BSOD_jcgriff2.zip file
Symptoms - a spontaneous OS crash, BSOD and immediate reboot whilst doing nothing in particular - maybe moving the mouse, maybe reading an html page, maybe send/receiving emails.
I did have SP1 installed, and now I have uninstalled it but the BSODs keep happening. Presumably the rest of the info I need to supply is in the minidumps - hope so.
If you can point me in the right direction (h/w failure, devise driver failure, corrupt DLL?) I would be very grateful. I have spent many hours sorting out my computer recently and I am not getting very far.
Thanks in advance
