Hi everyone,

I recently had two BSOD's within a short time period. I was surfing the internet on a site that I frequently go to and had the screen randomly go black and then after about 30 seconds I got a flashing BSOD with purple stripes running through it which was followed by an automatic restart and video driver problems (did not have proper resolution and could not change resolution to proper resolution... was not in safe mode though). After restarting again the computer worked fine, resolution and everything, however I had the exact set of events that I previously described happen once more when I started my browser. After my second manual restart I had no problems. The error I got the second time was:

Problem signature:

I've attached my minidump folder so if anyone could check it out and let me know if they have any idea's as to the origin of the issue that would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

P.S: I'm running a Dell XPS M1210 and am out of warranty in a couple months so if it is a hardware issue I suppose I should get it dealt with asap. Previously about a year ago I had the MOBO/video card replaced through warranty due to issues with them and the fan on my computer.

The Windows Debugging Tools aren't able to access symbols for your operating system files (in particular NTOSKRNL.EXE / NTKRNLMP.EXE / NTKRNLPA.EXE / NTKRPAMP.EXE) from the Microsoft Symbol Server - so that makes debugging them difficult if not impossible.

Please do the following:
- activate/validate the Windows installation at Genuine Microsoft Software
- run sfc.exe /scannow to replace any problem files
- open a support incident with Microsoft to see if they can fix the missing symbols issue ( Windows 7 Solution Center )
- If that doesn't fix it, then wipe the hard drive and reinstall Windows
- don't use "leaked"/torrent builds

best guess on probable cause YOUR VIDEO DRIVER
