Hi, I'm getting the BSOD problem with my destop. It happened once a few weeks ago and then it stopped, but over the past few days it started occuring again. So far it has happened when I'm watching movies and whrn the pc is just left switched on. See attached for the .zip file from the DM Log collector. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yep welcome kieron22 mate the dumps you have sent through as axe has asked - usually you configure the dumps and then post them as it looks like you have done - contained a dump that is pointing the finger at your USB ports and is most likely a driver but unfortunately you have not sent any system specs so we cannot go looking for that driver.

Please do this http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/180324-system-info-see-your-system-specs.html

Plus where did you get that copy of Windows because the build is wrong it should be 7601 SP1 not 7600.
Service Pack 1 (SP1) is essential to have the system work properly and you may have one of the old original copies that needed SP1 to be added ( I did on a couple of occasions before they realized the system had bugs that need fixing ) and sadly many counterfeiters sell on pirated copies to unsuspecting buyers too

Code:
Unable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\ntoskrnl.exe, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: [COLOR=red]Unable to verify timestamp for ntoskrnl.exe[/COLOR]

Now the USB dump (the ntosknl.exe is a very common dump too and it usually takes some tracking down because it can be anything from hard to soft ware).

Code:

First off thank you guys for the feedback.

1) I have added the pc specs, sorry about not having it at first things were going a bit crazy with the desktop
2) I checked the instructions on how to configure the dump and everything on my PC was set just like in the instructions.
3) In terms of the OS, someone built the system for me and did everything, however I do have the Windows 7 CD from another computer that I bought, should I just reinstall with that CD?
4) I checked in the Minidump folder and I found a few files, one of them as recent as yesterday (see attached)
5) The latest event is that this morning I went to turn on the PC and it failed and Startup repair was launched and it did some repairs, I haven't had any BSOD's so far. And I have also been getting some pop up notifications about different exe. that are corrupt:

The first one that came up is DropboxUpdate.exe - Corrupt File : The file or directory C:/$Secure is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility

Second one is AcroMissingCompWClass: AcroRd32.exe - Corrupt File : The file or directory C:/$Secure is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility

Thanks again for the help.

So where did you get your copy from as it does not have Service Pack 1 - SP1 and could be counterfeit.

If I reinstall windows using a genuine copy that I got with another computer will that help? I just bought the parts and paid someone to build it.

No sorry mate that copy if it is an OEM is tied forever to the original board. If it is a retail copy then it can be used again provided it is only used on one machine at a time and then once you have used it for more than say four machines they might just come back at you and ask what is going on.

Now one option is of course to phone Microsoft and explain the original board has gone bad and can you use the OEM copy for the new board. They are usually fairly accommodating but don't try this more than once eh? You will of course need to know the activation code usually on the machine sticker or find it using this first http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/153626-product-key-number-windows-7-find-see.html use option 2. If you do contact Microsoft because of that discrepancy in the build they might even say it is not a genuine copy and then we are stuck with getting a new copy which is easier said than done because of finding an OEM - DON'T use EBay mate in any case.

One last option is this http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/219487-clean-reinstall-factory-oem-windows-7-a.html - you can use any Windows 7 DVD (say a friends disk) as they have all versions on the disk and you need to use the ei.cfg removal tool to unlock the version you have a valid code for.

I am offline now for a while but post back and let me know what is happening.

Yep CNA I did say that already and while you are right I thought a little explanation was in order to make the point of the difference. Plus you can see there is also an option in that tutorial I posted.
between retail and OEM and the uses that a retail copy can be put to.

What I didn't want was the OP to do is go buy another copy that is not genuine as I think the original one probably was and unbeknown to the OP.

Thank you all soo much again. A BSOD hasn't occurred since yesterday so I'll monitor it, if I does occur I have a retail copy of windows 8 as well so I might upgrade to that since the Windows 7 that I have is an OEM one.

Ok Keiron but personally I tried 8 and it really is not my cup of tea and nor is 10 for that matter.

You could try phoning Microsoft like I said and yes they can be quite accommodating mate if you explain the old MB died on you.

I know its the same for me too, windows 7 is just nice and simple but seeing that it might not be a genuine copy I think I'll have to replace it. It's still acting up btw so I'm getting ready to do it over.

Kieron mate just try this once more just to be sure the copy is not genuine I am only assuming it is because of that reference to the 7600 build. Now when I first installed 7 a long time ago it did come as 7600 but it wasn't long before they fixed the problems with the SP1 and the new copies came as 7601.

So have a loo it costs nothing to do.

Ok mate thought it worth a try now it is a matter of finding a copy or being able to purchase a key then you could use the tutorial I mentioned in a previous post using a friends DVD.

Now it always seems to me that every time this happens that the version is almost invariably the Ultimate version that is involved and I am guessing that the unscrupulous play on people desire to have the best do so by selling the "Ultimate" version.
In my opinion the Home version just about covers the lot the Pro and Ultimate are just not really needed for general work.
