Repeat BSODs shortly after loading desktop
This is my third thread (marked others as solved....clearly I was wrong). My computer will BSOD 3-5x after a restart within 1 minute of loading the desktop, then it will just behave like a normal computer. It does not do this in safe mode. So far I have been told to remove DaemonTools and Avast, which I have done. Minidumps are attached though I am totally open to doing something to help specify the culprit.
Of note, this problem occurred very early after installing Windows (ie the same day, not many programs installed). No idea if it is pertinent, but I have a Win7 update key and, in the interest of having a clean install without having to go through the hassle of re-installing XP again (it was a new machine), I used the method of changing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE/ MediaBootInstall from 1 to 0, then using CMD for "slmgr /rearm" as described in option 2 here in order to bypass the preposterous requirement for having a pre-existing XP installation (why they didnt just ask for my XP key is beyond me).
Once again thank you in advance.
