BSOD STOP Error 0x0000001E

Hi Mbox, welcome to 7F! :)

Your minidmp points to a game file Tropico4.exe, and how long have you had Steam installed?
Some systems can not tolerate it.

Also the file nvlddmkm.sys, could be causing you trouble.
See: nVidia BSOD nvlddmkm.sys - Vista Hardware Devices for a possible fix.

Meanwhile I will go over your other jcgriff file.

Okay, then we will concentrate on that Tropico4.exe file. Uninstall it, and see if that makes a difference.

Have you looked into the nvlddmkm.sys link?

You should try using your system without Tropico before going any further.
This is a step by step process. If we do two moves at one time how do we know what worked?

If we get to it, I would do the steps as directed. If that works for a test period, then I would delete it.

Your welcome. Its all we can do for now.

In going over your files I notice some recent app hangs with HalfLife2, do you still have it installed?

There are also references to other games, and skype, while we are waiting for the other shoe to drop why don't you check and see if you have the latest Nvidia drivers.
Here is the auto scan site: NVIDIA Driver Downloads - Automatically Detect NVIDIA Products
You could download them, but do not install. That way we have them if we need them.
