BSOD reading website. 2nd bsod in a week

[oshelef]

Just had my second BSOD in a week. Not ideal.

Windows 7, 64bit, volume license (though OEM on the machine is also windows 7 64bit)
1 month old hardware (10 days since I added memory).
18 month old OS install (backed up and restored, and drivers updated to new hardware)

(Note that the older BSODs in the zip file are from old hardware)

Both drivers and memory seem plausible sources. About to run memtest....

Related to tvicport64.sys TVicPort Driver from EnTech Taiwan. Yours is dated 2005!

I would remove it.

To be absolutely certain when you have finished memtests 6-8 passses run driver verifier.

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/Win7 Startup Repair feature).

In Windows 7 you can make a Startup Repair disk by going to Start....All Programs...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc - with Windows Vista you'll have to use your installation disk or the "Repair your computer" option at the top of the Safe Mode menu .

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 "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. Continue to use your system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do that repeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier is stressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for at least 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).

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.
