    Latest update. Did a complete reinstall from the Dell re-installation disks and install went good. Still got a BSOD so after shutting the system down I took out the memory, removed the fan/heatsink. Blew out the case paying close attention to the dim sockets, cleaned off the old thermal paste. Put the memory back in, re-installed the fan/heatsink and so far things have been fine. Be running now for a few hours w/o any problems. Now to just update to SP1. Again, thank you very much for your times and assistance, it is appreciated greatly! Of course will see how things go over the next few days.

    Multiple BSOD's motherboard issue?


    I'm beginning to suspect a MB issue as the cause of the BSODs but WIndows runs okay in safe mode. It just chokes at various times in normal mode.

    Things I have tried -
    Complete reinstall of Win7, wiped hard drive, sfc /scannow reports no errors, chkdsk reported no errors. Used memtest86 on all four 2 GB mem sticks, tested each 1 individually for ten passes - no errors. Tested each one in each of the four mem slots - no erros. Most recent BIOS is installed (yes, it's over 4 yrs old), updated NVIDIA drivers, tried but get same results w/just the generic VGA driver.

    In normal mode, IE freezes, explorer freezes, windows update freezes. Diabled all non-micorsoft device drivers in system config and still BSOD. I'm wondering if it could be the MB or the CPU? Specs: Intel I5 quad 3.2gz, 8 GB DDR3 memory, nvidia GT220 graphics/ or onboard graphics. Attached the dump files. Thanks in advance for any help!
