17 BSODs so far, with different error #s
Hi, my computer has been crashing for the last 3 months pretty often and I'm at my wits end :/ I built this computer in March/April 2011 and have had no issues up til now. The blue screens aren't tied to any hardware/software changes (because I haven't made any lately) and appear to occur at random - sometimes on boot, sometimes while idle, sometimes while using different programs.
AND, I'm not sure if its related, but several programs on my computer have been crashing/failing as well. I've ran multiple virus scans with not so much as a piece of malware. But, sometimes on boot, Kaspersky Internet Security fails to load most of its protection components and will show that the databases are corrupted - but a reboot will load the program perfectly. Google chrome will randomly crash when trying to access any page - a reboot solves this.
I've run multiple diagnostics, and interestingly enough, the memory test diagnostic did show an error in memory which makes me think maybe a ram stick could be causing this. I'm uploading my minidumps in a zip file as I couldnt install the File Collector (NT Framework 4.0 was needed and kept getting errors during installation -i quit trying). Sorry this was so long, I'm just trying to give whatever pertinent info i can think of.
