    I did memtest on both sticks of ram together and individually, and in the three tests, for 9 passes there were no errors, so it seems its not a RAM problem ryt?
    no , because any memory testing program doesn't stress ram like windows the only true way is to run in a windows environment, to quote since windows 95 Microsoft have stated about memory testing programs
    Defective memory chips may not be detected by memory checking tools. Some memory checking programs are not adequate tests because they do not test RAM in the same way that Windows uses RAM. Most memory checkers use read/write cycles when scanning memory. Since Windows is executing code from memory, it uses execute cycles. Execute cycles are different from read/write cycles and are more vulnerable to parity errors. It is possible for memory checking programs to find parity errors if the memory is extremely faulty.
    take out all but one stick of ram and run your system for a few days trying your best to make your system bluescreen

    let us know it goes

    turn off driver verifier for now while testing your system with minimum ram

    hey guys.. i formatted my c drive and reinstalled windows 7 ultimate 64bit.. and after working for 2 days got a bsod upon which i decided to give it to a service centre.. They worked the laptop for 2 days without a single bsod, and said it is not a harware related and maybe due to a virus affection.. can bsod be caused by viruses??
    so they told me to backup all data, completely format the hard disk and install windows 7.. but i have started to get bsod's again randomly and i am wondering if it would be viruses... if it is not a harware problem, then it should be driver related... as i had totally reinstalled windows, there cannot be any faulty driver causing a bsod ryt??
    i am attaching the latest dump files... can any1 please go through them and help me telling what caused those bsod's??
