Nutin' Honey! I did download that BSOD Recommended Fix that I think you recommended; although, I didn't run it.

Enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
Driver Verifier -Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.
Information
Why Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, ans so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.
How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.
Warning
Before enabling DV, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.
If there is no points, make a System Restore Point Manually before enabling DV.
Tip
- If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.
- If you cannot boot in Safe mode too, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.
Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.
So, I RE-install the Firewire driver BEFORE running DV? Also, should I run the Registry Reviver?
Yes for the reinstall.
Do not use registry cleaners apart from the except of CCleaner.
Even then I wouldn't recommend it unless it's needed.
I'm sorry Doc. I'm not sure I understand your direction. Just to be sure, I DO reinstall the audio driver BEFORE running DV?
I said in the last reply yes.
Doc,
I can't believe it, but I may have made a critical error. I only hope there is a way out. When I tried to boot into Win7 it only shows the Windows 7 screen for about 2 secs, then BSOD. I tried it 4 times. At first I realized that I forgot to set a Restore Point before DV. However, since I use an SSD drive, and HDMI I have to use the VGA setting to boot into Safe Mode. Once I did that, I went to CCleaner, and chose the last Restore Point. I'm now at my Desktop in Safe Mode. My question is I don't see exactly where/how to disable DV.
Little hep here?
Option two here,
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable
Just go to start menu like you would in normal mode, type verifier, open and tick "Delete existing settings", Finish at the bottom.
Once it's disabled boot back into normal mode, then run the DM Log Collector as admin.
