    This morning I decided to run a virus scan, and just now the computer just rebooted itself randomly

    I have already disabled automatic restart on system failure but still I didn't receive a blue screen so I don't have a .dmp file

    One thing I've noticed is that the blue screen/restarts mainly occur when the PC is under heavy load, like if I'm on a game, or watching a HD video on youtube, it doesn't happen 100% of the time, but usually this is the case

    I'm guessing third party softwares are messing up your system. I saw that you mentioned something like 'trayit''...that interfere with MSE
    Can you please go to Run-->Type in msconfig-->choose startup tab and turn off everything except system process and see if problem goes away

    I have clean installed windows plenty of times and the only common software I use is AVG and Firefox (AVG now uninstalled)

    However I just got another blue screen, I've attached it to this post, if someone could analyse it that would be great

    I couldn't see a lot from the minidump file. Can you please enable Driver Verifier. It is driver stress test that will let us know if the BSODs caused by bad driver
    Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is. But sometimes it'll crash and won't tell you the driver. Other times it'll crash before you can log in to Windows. If you can't get to Safe Mode, then you'll have to resort to offline editing of the registry to disable Driver Verifier.

    So, I'd suggest that you first backup your stuff and then make sure you've got access to another computer so you can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so you can restore the system using the Vista Startup Repair feature).

    Then, here's the procedure:
    - Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
    - Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click "Next"
    - Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click "Next"
    - Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click "Next"
    - Select "Automatically select unsigned drivers" and click "Next"
    If no drivers show up, then select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
    Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
    - Select "Finish" on the next page.

    Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Reboot into Windows, turn off Driver Verifier by going back in and selecting "Delete existing settings" on the first page, then locate and zip up the memory dump file and upload it with your next post.

    If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
    If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from your installation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that you created.
    If that doesn't work, post back and we'll have to see about fixing the registry entry off-line.

    Your latest dump pointed to Tibia.exe as the cause. That does not necessarily mean it was the cause; it could have conflicted with something else. Tibia.exe belongs to the software Tibia Player or Adobe AIR by CipSoft GmbH. Try to udate this program, in fact make sure all of your Adobe software is updated.

    I agree with Tuan, do run driver verifier until it causes a BSOD or for for 24 hours. Carry on your normal computer operations while it is running.

    Do a CPU stress test as well, using Prime95.

    Ah, yeah I was playing Tibia at the time, although this isn't always running so the other blue screens shouldn't relate to this right, I will try the driver thing now and see what happens

    You are correct. It was running at the time and may not be the cause. Also I see that the driver spsys.sys was unloaded. SPSYS.SYS is the Windows Licensing System file; so I have to ask if your copy of Windows is validated and legitimate? This is not an accusation, just a question in the process of eliminating possibilities.

    Yeah it's validated and legitimate, I even have the sticker on the side from where I got it built, also I've had this error for ages now and not only on this OS, I used to have Vista Home Premium x64 before and I had the problem on that too

    Ok, I did driver verifier and here are the blue screens

    Hope you guys can help

    Edit: Thanks, will let you know if problems arise

    Both dmps are nearly identical and point to ASACPI.sys as the cause.

    A device driver attempting to corrupt the system has been caught.  This is
    because the driver was specified in the registry as being suspect (by the
    administrator) and the kernel has enabled substantial checking of this driver.
    If the driver attempts to corrupt the system, bugchecks 0xC4, 0xC1 and 0xA will
    be among the most commonly seen crashes.

    Here is a thread on the Asus site you can read about this driver and the utility.

    ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Forum- ATK0110 ACPI Utility Drivers

    Although, I think you driver is current, I suggest that you reinstall it from the Asus site. Go to this link: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support- download_item_mkt
    Scroll down to the Utilities category, then scroll down to the "ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Windows 7 32&64-bit " (it's about the 8th item down). Download and install it.

    Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers to check and make sure that the ASACPI.sys file is date stamped from 2009 or 2010.

    After I installed the driver again things seemed to be fine, however my computer just now randomly rebooted so I thought I'd run the driver verifier again

    Guess what caused the blue screen :/

    Do you have any more ideas for me? I know you suggested Prime95, and I haven't overlooked that, but I'm just wondering how excately it works, do I leave my computer on while it does a stress test? If so, I suppose I'd have to find a time for me to do it while I don't need the PC
