Repetitive BSODs when I am away from the computer
Hello all. I've got a BSOD that I can't give much info on, as they always happen when I am up and away from the computer. I upgraded my computer about a month ago, with a brand new motherboard/cpu/memory and a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit on a brand new SSD drive. I also upgraded from BitDefender Internet Security 2011 to 2013 when I did the system re-install.
I'm not sure if it helps, but I sometimes use a VPN service (Private Internet Security) to access content from back home (I live in Japan, but I'm from the USA). I also use NetWorx to track my daily bandwidth to make sure I don't go over my daily limit.
When I did the hardware upgrade there was ONE small problem that happened during my CPU install. I put down my thermal grease and then went to put the cpu cooler down on it and then realized that the other half of the plastic shell that the CPU came in was stuck to it, and now had thermal grease on it. I took off the plastic and fixed the thermal grease with no apparent problems or spillage on the part of the cpu, but I noticed later a small thread of grease had fallen onto one of the memory slots. It didn't appear to go deep inside, and I peeled off the thread of grease that was stuck to the top, but I'm not sure if it caused any damage or not.
I'm not sure what else I can add, so I'll just include the dump files zipped up as per instructed and let someone who understands better than I know if I need to start doing hardware checks (memory sticks and memory slots) or if the problem lies in the software. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. I always come here when I have serious problems. :)
