windows 7 has crashed a lot lately. Mem dump enclosed.

i did run the HD tune, and it found no errors..... i will try to run another scan from western digital specifically.

just finished running the Western digital disk diagnostics. It all passes, which actually surprised me a little bit...

i was thinking about doing that, because literally a dozen bsod's a day is a pain.... glad i have this laptop....

i read in multiple places the asus p5n-d mobo bsod'd a lot with xp, and it was fixable by updating with drivers found on nvideas website, i found the appropriate windows 7 drivers. and went to install it since this worked for everyone, after the install i got a blue screen before the install screen even got the chance to exit completely, (but it was a successful install)

i will post dump files when i can boot into windows, its been hanging at the "starting windows" screen, weather its a hard reset. or a software reset, it doesnt freeze, it just slows to an agonizing pace, it takes the computer close to 45 mins to fully boot, rendering the computer basically useless, luckely i got laid off and have time to mess with this.... once its booted, which it looks like its close too, i will post my most recent dumps.

well it definitely doesnt leave dump files for every crash.

Heres the one and most recent file(from most recent crash) it did leave behind
Attachment 69735

so.... i just got this

""a device driver attempting to corrupt the system has been caught the faulty driver on the kernal stack must be replaced with a working version""


so i figure its definitely a driver issue.... as much as i dont want to i think i need to do the repair install, i was trying to figure the problem out with out that,

only problem is after i do this i am fairly confident with my luck it will not fix the problem.

it froze (no blue screen) 2x's in the last 20 mins, when when i tried playing a game, another when i went to start the repair install, it scares me, doing an install with the computer as unstable as it is..... lets hope all goes well, and my problems are solved after this...

it was a blue screen with that across the top. what i had done was gone to the validate tool in windows, selected my options, and had it validate, i was following a tutorial over at another site, its on the history of my desktop, which is out of commission right now... it had said if you get a blue screen after the validate tool runs, then its driver problems, but not only that it game me that error i posted above, it was quick and then restarted, i wouldent have had time to take a picture of my monitor or anything, Well like i said i am doing the repair install now, hopefully all goes well now.... but we shall see...
