Frequent BSOD on new ASUS Notebook, poss. ntoskrnl.exe?
My notebook is an ASUS X53U running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit edition. The computer is a little over two months old (received it as a Christmas gift) and it had worked perfectly fine up until a few weeks ago when I began experiencing seemingly random BSODs. So far I have not been able to find out how to force it to happen, all I can say is the first two times it BSOD'ed the .dmp file showed that it was "hal.dll" causing the problem, now every single time since the problem seems to be caused by "ntoskrnl.exe." Like I said, the crashes are completely random, sometimes happening once a day and other times happening three or four times in an hour. I tried to figure out what was going on by looking at the .dmp files in WhoCrashed, and it seems to be indicating a hardware error. The only external hardware I have hooked up to my PC is a mouse, which does randomly stop working on occasion. Could there be an issue with it? Also, this may not be true "hardware" persay, but I do have a virtual CD-ROM drive installed through Virtual CloneDrive.
