Blue Screen and random crashes
I was running Vista until several weeks ago when my HD crashed. We salvaged what data we could and then installed Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit on a second HD that's never had an OS installed on it. It was previously used for backup and storage. Everything was fine for 10 to 12 days then got a bluescreen and restart. It's happened a few times since but we also get random system crashes and freezing without the blue screen but requiring a restart. It doesn't seem to happen while doing any one particular thing but it actually crashed while running the BSOD dump & system file collection app. Sometimes it has problems rebooting and wants to run repair but it usually boots up eventually and it'll run fine for a while. I've not been able to pin it down to any specific software so I'm leaning towards a hardware issue but I don't know enough to decipher everything. I'm much closer to the intermediate level than expert.
The system is about 3 yrs. old. I've attached the zip file including my perfmon, NT6 BSOD file, and 4 minidumps that were created. I'm also using Avast antivirus and Adaware. I've read a couple of places that W7 and Avast don't get along too well but I really have no idea if this is causing the problem. Any assistance provided would be greatly appreciated.
