    BSOD while watching youtube/gaming


    Currently:
    Windows 7 Ultimate x64
    Not the original OS of the system
    Full Retail
    Age of the computer is about 8 months
    Age of current installation (at the time of posting) is about 7 hours.


    Hello there I have been getting BSOD for about 5 days or so.
    I had Windows 7 x64 professional on the computer.

    Today I did a "ultra clean install" to Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
    I did a DISKPART -> clean all then installed this version of windows hoping that my problem would have been fixed. I have receice about 3 or 4 BSOD's since this installation.

    All my drivers seem to be up to date (manually checked all drivers from device manager).

    All help is greatly appreciated.
    Thank You.

    I hope I successfully attached the zip file as instructed by the site.

    New info:

    The computer has been on for about 1 hour since I made this post and now the message Windows Explorer ahs stopped working comes up when I try to search for programs and files or by trying to click on Windows Update among other things.

    Analysis:
    You had three different BugCheck codes. They may be due to AVG since it shows up in one. Two of them indicate memory problems. I suspect this is hardware, and probably memory related. Run some hardware checks.
    • If you are overclocking any hardware, please stop.

    • If you have an SSD, make sure the following are up to date:
      • SSD firmware
      • BIOS Version
      • Chipset Drivers
      • Hard disk controller drivers/SATA drivers
      • If you have a Marvell IDE ATA/ATAPI device, make sure the drivers are up to date from the Intel site or Marvell site and not from your motherboard/vendor support site.


    • Run all but the advanced tests with SeaTools for HDDs.
    • Monitor temperatures during the following tests.
      Use the following programs to monitor the temperatures.


    • Run the boot version of Memtest86+ paying close attention to Parts 2 and 3 of the tutorial. Also, in case Memtest86+ misses anything and comes up with no errors, run the extended version of the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool for at least five passes. These you may want to run overnight since they take a long time to complete (run them an hour before bed each of the next two nights and check before going to sleep that they are still running).

         Warning
      Before you proceed with the following, answer these two questions: Are you still under warranty? Does your warranty allow you to open up the machine to check hardware? If you are unsure of the answers to these questions, contact your system manufacturer. WARNING: The steps that follow can void your warranty!!!


      For Part 3: If You Have Errors: If you swap any memory components, follow these steps for ESD safety:
      1. Shut down and turn off your computer.
      2. Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
      3. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
      4. Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working. If you do not have an anti-static workbench, desk, or pad, you can use your computer tower/case by finding a metal hold in it, such as a drive bay.

      Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.

    • We should check RAM compatibility:
      Download and install CPU-Z and Upload screenshots of the CPU, Mainboard, Memory, and SPD tabs. In the SPD tab, upload an image of each slot.
