Dont want to step on toes, but i noticed no service pack is installed:
Please update your installation to Window 7 Service Pack 1,
as it will help improve system stability:

Thank you for staying with me here.

C:\Users\User>SFC /scannow
Beginning system scan. This process will take some time.
Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

Please find attached, a .zip of all my minidumps.
Hmm... I wonder if the Direct X update was the problem?? Haven't Blue screened for a few days.
@ Dave: Thanks for your suggestion but I am scared to death of updating windows or installing SPs unless I absolutely have to. My experience is when I try to update windows when it is working fine, that's when things start to go haywire. Last time I did that, I lost all sound permanently. Had to upgrade to Win7 to fix. Would rather not do it unless its my last option.
Hi,
Thats entirely upto you, but in my experience No Service Pack 1 can cause the system to
become unstable, cause Performance & Security issues etc.
You could set a system restore point before installing SP1, then if it causes issues, you can
resore back to the point before you installed. (Gentle persuasion into installing SP1 :))
Hope this helps
Cheers

Blue Screen just now while loading iTunes: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
Not sure if its related to iTunes loading or not.
Please note:
- I got blue screen with brand new 6Gb Patriot RAM.
- I get blue screen now with brand new 6Gb Corsair RAM
- I don't get blue screen when I run the 4Gb RAM that came with the computer (One 1Gb stick x 4 slots).
My (2Gb sticks) RAM are in the correct slots (1, 2, & 4).
@ Dave. Thank you. Maybe some day.
Just Blue screened AGAIN! Right after opening Skype. Do you think it's because my empty slot? I should be able to run 6Gb according to specs but maybe it needs to be all 4 slots? I really dont want to buy another stick only to have it still blue screening. WDYT?
I already did that for 11 hours last week. No errors. All tests passed. 9 passes I think. The mini dump doesn't point to exactly what the problem is? Shall I upload recent mini dumps?
