Hello Mindzia, welcome to SF!
For some reason, your upload did not give us all of the files we usually get in the jcgriff stuff...
But what I can see:
1. Please complete windows update. Lots of errors there.
2. Norton stuff seems to also cause problems in some of the many dumps.Please go to your Maintenance Center and check the Windows Update status. Make sure you are up to date, do them one by one manually if needed.
For help or reset see: Windows Update - Reset
Please de-install (as a test for stability only)
Please see these links for de-installing your AV:
Uninstallers (removal tools) for common antivirus software - ESET Knowledgebase
or here
Ultimate Collection of Uninstallers / Removal Tools for All Popular Anti-Virus Software - Tweaking with Vishal
Then reboot.
Sometimes these uninstallers do not remove all they should out of Registry:
Run CCleaner, both regular and registry.
Next install your preferred AV immediately. Try avast! for free. when you are sure we've found the issue, you can re-install Norton.
i formatted drive c and reinstalled windows, updated, not installed norton, and again ive got blue screen...Attachment 170300
Couple of problems here now:
1. Windows Update did not finish. It failed multiple times.
2. There is no dump though you had a BSOD?Please go to your Maintenance Center and check the Windows Update status. Make sure you are up to date, do them one by one manually if needed.

3. Let's check memory with a check that does not use W7 stuff:To ensure minidumps are enabled:
Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD
Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
Under the Write Debugging Information header
Select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
OK your way out.
Reboot if changes have been made.
Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program.
Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.
Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.
Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.
RAM - Test with Memtest86+
does that ram - test with memtest86+ has to restart very often?
i booted that test from cd, it ran a bit and computer restarted, launched again, ran a bit and again restarted. does it have to be like this?
No... but it proves a point. Memtest86 runs by itself on Hardware and Bios. No Windows7 involved. The fact that it stops means there is a fault in your motherboard hardware, Ram stick or maybe BIOS. Does not have to be fully messed up, could be settings...
But, to be honest, most often it is a bad ram stick or mobo slot.
Have you tried single ram stick in each slot and test?
Does it just reboot without any error message?
it just reboots without any error. so i will try single ram stick and see what happens
tested each ram stick in every slot, but just for one time, both ram sticks passed, no errors. left my laptop for a night just with one ramstick, turned on in the morning, no blue screen for now. i will see what will be in the evening, when i come back from work
