BSOD at least once a day.

Hello,

I have been getting a BSOD at least once a day for the past week or so. I have owned my G53JW laptop for years and have never had this kind of issue before.

I see this: BCCode 101, every time my computer reboots from a BSOD crash.

No, I do not overclock my system.
No, it doesn't happen only when my system is under heavy use.
Yes, I have been opening up my computer a lot recently due to hard drive issues but this has been resolved.
Yes, it only happens when I'm using my system. It will make it through the night in sleep mode just fine.

I have followed instructions to upload my system dumps using the SF_Diagnostic_tool.

Thanks for your time.
-Brandon

Windows 7 doesn't require any programs which make changes to the operating system and registry, these programs tend to cause problems by modifying and deleting files.

• Registry Cleaner Tests - Why NOT To Use One!

Windows is a closed source system. Developers of registry cleaners do not have the core code of Windows 7 and are not working on definitive information, but rather they are going on past knowledge and experience. Automatic cleaners will usually have to do some guesswork.

Modifying registry keys incorrectly can cause Windows instability, or make Windows unbootable. No registry cleaner is completely safe and the potential is ever present to cause more problems than they claim to fix.

Registry cleaners cannot distinguish between good and bad. If you run a registry cleaner, it will delete all those keys which are obsolete and sitting idle; but in reality, those keys may well be needed by some programs or windows at a later time.

Windows 7 is much more efficient at managing the registry than previous Windows versions. If you run any other registry cleaner and do not know precisely what you are doing, you will have problems down the road. There are no gains to be had from using a registry cleaner and the risk is great.
