Welcome
Your reports suggest hardware, one even mentioned memory. A lot of drivers were also mentioned. Lets rule out drivers and then go from there
Driver Verifier
I'd suggest that you first backup your data 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/Windows 7 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.

I turned it on, and it crashed waking up from hibernation, what do I do now?
i uploaded the new minidumps

 

[richc46]

Try it once again. The dump said memory problems, but lets give verifier a chance to work. If it BSODs again at boot, try this.
Run for 8 passes.
Then test each stick in a good slot for 6 passes.
If you have dual channel, the results may be incorrect, if shows pass.

Iv done a memtest on both sticks and no problems, but I will try them individually. and just got another bsod error code 1E and I attached the new minidumps

 

[richc46]

It takes hours to do the test correctly.

 

[djnour]

Ya, I ran the memtest with both of them yesterday for 3 passes

 

[richc46]

Here are your results on the last test taken

Probably caused by : memory_corruption
Followup: memory_corruption
---------

Run memtest for 6 passes and then test each stick in the same slot for 6 passes. I want to be sure. Once we move on, we will never find the cause if it is memory.

 

[djnour]

Ran the mem tests, 6 passes each, no errors
Just got another bsod, and curiously enough, 1A, memory management, I am however using 2 8G corsair sticks of ram that are not on my motherboards qualified vendors list, but fit the ddr3 non eec ect...
would that do it?
new dumps attached
And thank you so much for your time to help me with these problems I'm having, its very much appreciated

 

[richc46]

You need to test for 8 passes
Then pass of fail take each stick and test for 6 passes in a good slot.

 

[djnour]

I did the 6 passes to the individual sticks, in a good slot, and even though i did them individually i should do them together for the 8?

 

[richc46]

Yes, sometimes the sticks will not work together, but do so separately.

 

[djnour]

Came home to find it on the 5th pass and 7936 errors
so i guess we found the problem then

 

[richc46]

Well, Im sorry about the memory problem, but glad that we found the cause so it can be repaired.

 

[djnour]

same, but who needs 16g anyways, its mostly for pride purposes, should i shut off driver verifier, or should i continue to run it

 

[richc46]

I think that the best thing to do at this point is shut down the verifier. Fix memory so it does not show errors and then enjoy the computer. If you still get BSODs, post them here. Good luck

 

[djnour]

alright, done, If I dont get an error in the next couple of days ill mark this as solved, Thank you so much for your help

 

[djnour]

Thought I was in the clear, then my computer froze, no bsod, just froze

 

[richc46]

Continue to use the computer, if you do not get more BSODs, but freezes, post a new thread and ask for help from freezing. If you stay in this thread no one else will come to help, limiting your chance for success.

 

[djnour]

Just got another bsod, here us a photo of it, and ill post the dumps soon, I'm away from the computer, but got this picture before I left
