Random BLK SOD-sometimes 5/night
ASUS US6E Win7x64 SP1 (4GB) bought 11 mos ago. Started out as BLUE SOD every month or so. Now getting BLK SOD--sudden reboots (black screen) even tho I have []Automatically Restart unchecked. Event Viewer seems only to record "system rebooted without cleanly shutting down." As many as 5/night--in fact just had one during my first attempt to post this. I have no extra hardware, no power software except maybe like Visual Studio and LabView, but they weren't running. Happens while reading pdf file, writing email or Word, or browsing (I have tried Firefox, Chrome, IE). I ran MS Memory Diagnostic (no errors) and chkdsk (read-only) no errors. Speak and I will happily try more extensive tests.

>> How wonderful this site with diagnostics and live help!. ASUS claims they have -no- diagnostic for me to use. I must restore orig configuration (I do have disk image) and ship (4 weeks turn-around). I have 1 mo left on warranty-- I am afraid I'll get the system back with a note "There were no problems" and I would wonder. If I can pin down to hardware--fine. If you guys can find software problem--super.

I have attached cab.zip. Sorry if I have some duplicate files (2) etc, I had already made an SF_xxxx then I got a BLK-SOD and, on the next SF_XXX, I mistakenly chose make-copy instead of overwrite.
