It seems to be when i get home after the computer has been sitting for a good amount of time.

I have had it happen once while i was using the PC to install a program.

But for the most part it is at the Logon screen when i return home and when i sigin it tells me it has recovered from a serious error.

I have done system scans, defrags, disk checks, virus scans, hijackthis, the whole 9.

Everything checks out. I have NOT updated my BIOS, but HAVE updated the sound card and video card.

Can't think of anything else.

Check out the dmp and let me know what you guys think.

Thanks in advance! :D

Hi Rorschach,

Your problems appear to be hardware [& memory] related. Chrome may also be involved.

I suggest that you do the following -
1. Run a system file check to verify and repair your system files.
Go to search - right click to run as Administrator - type in sfc /scannow.
[Make sure you have a space between sfc and / ]
2.Download memtestx86 and run for at least 5 passes
3.Update the old drivers.[from 2005 & up.]
4.Uninstall Chrome.

Please let us know how it goes.
Thanks Jan.

Ok thanks Jan!

Well i ran the sfc and it came back negative.

It gives me no problems at all really.

Ill post the results when im done.

UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (7f)
This means a trap occurred in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kind
that the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch (bound trap) or that
is always instant death (double fault).  The first number in the
bugcheck params is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc)
Consult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what these
traps are. Here is a *portion* of those codes:
If kv shows a taskGate
        use .tss on the part before the colon, then kv.
Else if kv shows a trapframe
        use .trap on that value
Else
        .trap on the appropriate frame will show where the trap was taken
        (on x86, this will be the ebp that goes with the procedure KiTrap)
Endif
kb will then show the corrected stack.

Arg1: 0000000d, EXCEPTION_GP_FAULT

Hmmm wow ok.

Well do you think i need to update my BIOS and stuff?

I seen somewhere else that someone said updating BIOS is a last resort. There are updates for my BIOS.

I guess ill be switching back to Firefox.

Hello !!

Its always good to have your BIOS Firmware up-to-date. Also i would recommend to uninstall your Antiviurs / Firewall and see whether that makes any difference. Instead of Firefox use IE and see whether it's crashing. If so it might be the NIC card drivers that might be messing things up.

Hope this helps,
Captain

Rorschach,
My advice at this stage would be to see how things go before doing anything further.
