    Also, at some point you should make sure all updates are installed for Windows. I see Service Pack 1 has not yet been installed.

    Not sure where the PCI analysis came from. All .dmp reports point to memory_corruption as the cause of the crashes which supports the tests that have been run and errors/crashes found due to the bad module. I too would be interested in where the PCI errors were determined.

    Thank you! For confirming the memory error. I was also confused as to why that guy said PCI error. I was wondering if it was a motherboard issue.

    But now I know for sure it's a memory error.

    Once again thank you very much.

    No problem. One other thing, you have a possible outdated driver:
    Code:
    RTL8187	fffff880`020a1000	fffff880`0210d000	Thu Jun 26 19:40:34 2008 (48644512)	00062063		RTL8187.sys
    RTL8187.sys

    Wanted to let you know in case you have any network related problems in the future regarding your wireless USB connection. Your USB network adapter may be outdated and could potentially cause problems in the future.

    I was afraid of that. I would recommend replacing the device. We see a lot of blue screen crashes on this forum related to USB wireless, and it is almost 100% certain to cause issues if the drivers are pre-Windows 7.

    Update: I updated the bios 2 days ago and have had none of those cold boot up BSOD's.

    Any way to guarantee their gone for good?

    The best way is to run for a few weeks (doing your normal routine) and see whether the system is stable.

    Ah, I see your dilemma. You were getting a blue screen crash basically on a daily basis before, so see how it runs for a few days.

    Okay...I'll run memtest86 on a cold boot tomorrow before I leave for school. I'll post results after I get back home about 8 hours later.
