Random Blue screens on fresh install, caused by "hal.dll"
Hello all, I just signed up on this forum because it seems like a good place to ask for BSOD help!
Basically for about the last two months I have been getting random blue screens roughly every few days. They don't necessarily happen under load, most of the time it's just happened while browsing the web. I reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate x64 a week ago, but have still have a few BSOD's since then (so it makes me think it's a hardware issue)
I have run Prime95 small FFT and blend for 4 hours with no errors. Memtest86+ also ran for 5 passes with no errors.
I built my PC around 5 months ago all with new hardware:
MSI P67A-GD53
i7 2600k @ 4.5GHz
2x2GB Kingston 1333MHz 7-7-7-21
HD 5550 (this is only temporary)
Corsair 650w
WD Blue 80GB (also temporary)
I followed the BSOD posting instructions, and will include a zip folder with all the info including dumps.
Grateful for any help, thanks!
