    We've seen issues with SSD's. Here's the info that I've compiled:
    We've seen a number of BSOD issues with SSD's recently. Here's the information that I've compiled:
    There's not a whole bunch available to test SSD's. The "easiest" test is to remove the SSD, install a platter-based hard drive, install Windows and test for stability that way.

    Here's some suggestions:
    - Update the SSD's firmware to the latest available version (VERY IMPORTANT!!!)
    - Slow the memory (RAM) down to the next slower speed (I've only seen one person who claimed that this worked for them).
    - Use any manufacturer's utilities that you may have. If you don't have any, then try this free one (I haven't used it myself): Crystal Dew World
    - Update chipset and storage controller drivers to the latest available from the manufacturer of the device (not the manufacturer of the motherboard). Be sure to update ALL controllers on the motherboard!
    ....NOTE: Recently (Nov 2011) we had BSOD issues with the Marvell 91xx controller and an SSD. You may have to switch controllers also.-
    Replace the SSD with a platter based hard drive and see if that stops the BSOD's. If it does, then it's likely that there's a problem with the SSD OR an incompatibility with your system.
    It's my opinion that SSD's aren't reliable enough (with current hardware) to be used on a system that needs to work reliably. Until I see reliability I will not recommend, nor will I use, SSD's for critical applications.

    Only 42 updates since SP1 - most systems have 70 or more. Please visit Windows Update and get all available updates.

    Asus ATK0110 ACPI Utility driver isn't installed. Missing this driver causes BSOD's, installing an older copy (2004/2005) causes BSOD's - you must get the latest version from Asus.
    Please go here: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards- ASUS Rampage II Extreme
    Enter your OS (Windows 7 64bit)
    Then click on the + sign to expand the Utilities section.
    Download and install the "ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Win7 32&64-bit"

    Daemon Tools (and Alcohol % software) are known to cause BSOD's on Win7 systems due to the sptd.sys driver.
    Please uninstall the program, then use the following free tool to ensure that the troublesome sptd.sys driver is removed from your system (pick the 32 or 64 bit system depending on your system's configuration): DuplexSecure - FAQ

    The above 2 things should solve this problem. If not, please post back and we'll try some other tests.

    Okay. I uninstalled daemon tools and ran the DuplexSecure. And i installed the drivers for the Asus ATK0110 ACPI, but its still the same

    Attach a new minidump

    Daemon Tools is still present. Could this memory dump have occurred BEFORE you removed Daemon Tools?

    Check in C:\Windows\System32\drivers and see if sptd.sys is there.

    The following info is just FYI, I've already addressed the issues that I saw in the above paragraphs:
    3RD PARTY DRIVERS PRESENT IN THE DUMP FILES
    - Create a System Restore Point prior to doing any of this. DO NOT mess with the drivers themselves - leave the Windows\System32\drivers directory alone unless we specifically direct you to it!
    - Please either update the older drivers from the device manufacturer's website - or uninstall them from your system. Reference links are included below.
    - DO NOT use Windows Update or the Update Drivers function of Device Manager.
    - Please feel free to post back about any drivers that you are having difficulty locating.
    - Windows Update exceptions may be noted below for Windows drivers.
