Regular but seemingly random BSODs, please help?
Hi. For months I've been getting BSODs (of the DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP variety) but recently they are happening a few times everyday.
After installing a new Nvidia driver update on the 28th I thought I'd finally got to the bottom of it but it appears not. Now I'm determined to put a stop to these remaining BSODs!
After reading around your forum a bit I've started using BlueScreenView and MyEventViewer but I must admit its now beyond me. The events seem to occur seemingly randomly but (since updating Nvidia) have mostly been caused by either amdk8.sys or halmacpi.dll.
According to Windows 7 all my drivers are update. Can anyone please shed some light on this? I sure could use some help.
