Hello there,
Please attend to these three things...

* ASACPI.SYS

The pre 2009 version of this driver is a known BSOD cause.

Please visit this link: ASUS teK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download P7P55D LE
ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download P7P55D LE

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 12th 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 (NOT before)

* SPTD.SYS

This is another large cause used by daemon tools and alcohol120

Remove any CD visualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%.
They use a driver, found in your dmp, sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs.

Use this SPTD uninstaller when you're done:DuplexSecure - Downloads

You can use MagicDisc as an alternative.

* I do notice McAfee which is a frequent cause of BSOD's.
Please remove it and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials at least to test.

thanks JMH, i have fixed the first one ASACPI.SYS


unfortunately magic DVD doesnt cut it for me for imaging clones, so i need to stick with daemontool .

i've also been using McAfee for a long time without BSODs so i will just monitor daemon and McAfee and see if im still getting BSODs

my BSODs are some what random and about once a week so i hope the first solved it if not i guess i have to get rid of daemon and mcafee

i appreciate your prompt response! repped!

 

[JMH]

Thank you for the response & rep.
It is appreciated...

One request.
Re McAfee
For testing purposes would you please , as advised, remove & replace wth MSE.

1-Good news about Asacpi.sys

2-There are other alternatives to Daemon Tools/Alcohol120 (they both use the same file)

3-McAfee can stay (your call of course) but if the crashes continue I would remove it next.

As always BSOD's are a combination of factors. What works today may not tomorrow and we can but recommend you make the call.

thanks JMH and Zigzag,

for testing purposes, i have removed McAfee and replaced it with windows live security

we'll see if the BSOD happens in the week or not!

thanks again for your quick responses!

Thank you for testing with MSE.
Looking forward to your report.
