Frequent BSOD with several error codes

[arico]

Hello,

I´ve been getting BSOD since a month ago. Memtest reported no errors during a 13 hours test. System check says both my HDDs are ok. I haven´t installed anything lately.

Most crashes concentrate after restarting. I can get 3-4 bsod and then start normally. I´ve always been able to start in Safe mode without any problem.

My system specs:
Windows 7 x64 retail
Hardware is less than one year old (i7 930, Asus P6T Deluxe V2, 6gb RAM kingston DDR3 1333, Sapphire Radeon 5850 Vapor X, 2x640Gb Caviar Black Western Digital SATA II)
No overclocking.

Any help appreciated. I´m thinking about reinstalling Win 7 but would like to know if there´s an specific problem with my soft/hard before doing so.

Several problems


1-ASACPI.SYS a major cause of BSOD's in the 2005 rev.

ASACPI.sys Sun Mar 27 22:30:36 2005

The 2005 version of this driver is a known BSOD cause.
Please visit this link: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support- download_item_mkt
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 8th 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 2005).

2-SPTD.SYS the second biggest cause used by daemon tools and alcohol120

Please remove any CD virtualization 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.

3- Avast. Remove and replace with Microsoft Security essentials.

Thank you for your answer,

Things are getting worse. I´ve removed Alcohol, used the uninstaller to remove the driver, updated Asacpi.sys, and removed Avast, everything in safe mode.

I restarted my PC in normal mode, downloaded MSE and installed it. MSE asked to reboot, I did so and got a couple of BSOD and freezes. Once I managed to restart normally and while MSE was updating I got a new BSOD.

I´ve restarted in Safe mode with no problem. Here are the new minidump files
