My system crashed again this evening, here is the new dump file (attached).
I also think I can reproduce the crash, following this steps:
1. Start "Beyond Compare" program.
2. Run a folder sync copy from NAS device to D: drive (system crashes as soon as copy starts).
My "D:" partition is a partition located in a RAID 1 volume (Intel RAID), that RAID 1 volume consists of my two WD drives.
I spoke too soon, the steps I listed before don't reproduce the crash after all.
I have reinstalled athur.sys driver as suggested (and actually that driver is for a USB wireless card that I don't use, so I even disconnected the adapter for now).
I also had two more crashes (see attached files).
The first one happened at the same time I opened Intel Rapid Store Technology software, and the second crash happened right after the system rebooted from the first crash (as soon as a logged in to Windows). Both crashes happened before I was able to update the athur.sys driver and disconnect my USB wireless card).

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

sxuptp.sys (from 2007)

Hello again,
sfc /scannow ran with no errors ("Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.").
I uninstalled the sxuptp.sys, you are correct that is an old driver for a Belkin network print server (they never released Win 7 specific drivers for it). I am pretty sure my system was crashing even before I installed that driver.
I am with you in your comment about this being a hardware issue, I am just not sure which hardware. So far I have tested RAM and disk drives and no issues there. I have also tested the processor with Intel's Processor Diagnostic Tool and no problems there either. I don't know of any good programs to run motherboard tests. Right now I have decided to run my system, just with my boot disk (SSD), I have disconnected my four HDD's and my DVD drive, to try and eliminate some of the hardware.
By the way, I had two more crashes this morning (see attached files). The two crashes were before I removed the sxuptp.sys driver and before I removed my HDD's and DVD drive.
Thanks again for the help.
Driver verified and Related to sxuptp.sys SXUPTP Driver for Windows XP from silex technology, Inc.. Yours is from 2007.
Now that it is verified it needs to be updated or removed.
As to why it didnt crash before and does now....
Crashes are always a combination of things. That driver might have gotten along with everything else on your system for months, but then something changed (could have been anything you installed, removed, or changed) and not that driver is mis-behaving.
Hi zigzag, yes I agree with you ... like I mentioned on my previous post, I have removed the sxuptp.sys driver from my system.
