go into your BIOS setup and click on reset to default values, then reboot...
is done. The only thing *I* had ever changed on this computer was to enable power-on from the keyboard.

While looking through autoruns, I noted that the Asus updater and asloader were already disabled. On the off chance that this was causing something to be missing that was required, I enabled them. This caused BSODs to be much more frequent, so I turned them back off.
I've updated pc probe, and rebooted, but still got a bsod after that.
Here's the minidump
OK. Now I've updated Asus: Coll and Quiet, EPU-4, ProbeII and the chipset.
I still get a bsod within minutes if I try to make a dvd. Here's the latest.
Hmmm. Although it will still bsod if I try to cut a dvd within 10 minutes, if I stay away from that, I've been browsing for a few hours without it crashing. And I've been able to leave it on unattended for a couple of hours without returning to a blue screen.
I'm thinking that there were more than one problem. One of them, I believe, was connected with the system going to low-power mode, which I disabled. The other is starting to look like it may be related to DVDs. I'm going to make a full CD instead to see if that behaves differently.
Hmm. I've been using the computer for the whole afternoon without a bsod when it used to occur several times in that time. I've even created a full CD with no problems. Now I'm going to try another DVD, just to confirm that it hasn't gone away by itself.
Added later: sure enough, attempting to create a DVD crashed it. I'll post the minidump tomorrow.
later: added minidump

and I was thinking that it was only happening when I tried to create a DVD. Nope. I was just browsing and BANG!
Here's the minidump.
Both dumps report stop error codes of A. One of them still points to amdppm as the cause.
Did you try to up date this driver?STOP 0x0000000A: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Usual causes: Kernel mode driver, System Service, BIOS, Windows, Virus scanner, Backup tool, compatibility

I believe it was suggested that you uninstall the software, Microsoft IntelliType Pro / IntelliPoint. I still find this driver which is associated with it:
NuidFltr.sys Fri May 08 04:53:31 2009
This driver is very obsolete:
SSPORT.sys Thu Aug 11 19:07:32 2005 - 32bit Port Contention Driver or SSPORT belongs to the software SSPORT or Port Contention Driver by Samsung Electronics. Uninstall this software.
If I could figure out what supplies amdpp.sys, I'd try to update it, but I can't figure that out.
According to the control panel, "Microsoft IntelliType Pro / IntelliPoint" are not installed, so I have no idea how to uninstall them. Should I re-name the NuidFltr.sys file so that windows can't find it?
Similarly, the only Samsung item showing in control panel is the "Samsung Universal Print Driver". I couldn't get my ML-1740 printer to work without it. Should I try renaming ssport.sys?
