Infrequent BSOD causing restart, happening continually.

[Feldgrun]

First off, thank you for your helpful advice.

BSOD (0x00000050) initially with relatively new desktop, and tried reinstallation of Win 7, which I thought would fix it. However, now BSOD infrequently. Blue screen too fast to read, but think it says 0x0000007b. Would appreciate your review of the attached zip, with your recommendations.

Thanks again.

Welcome to the forum.

Before I recommend anything else -
Please download and install all windows updates.

Post back once you're done.

Whats the reason for making all those partitions on your boot drive?

When you install windows 7 Try using only 1 partition, delete the others, if you have important files on them, you need to back them up!! Its better to have your OS on 1 drive, Use a separate drive for your important files!!

Thanks

Windows Updates - Unfortunately, some of the problem has been that when I try to install the drivers for internet access, the Ethernet card is not detected, and it says I have insufficient RAM. Without access to the internet, I'm not able to update Windows.

Partitions - I guess I didn't know about them, I thought I was doing a clean install. Can I delete other partitions? Will it make a difference?

Forgive my ignorance.

Here is a screenshot of your OS drive:

What are the updates that you are unable to install?

A screenshot of your errors would be helpful as well as a maximized view of your disk management.

1. Click on the start rb:
2. Type Disk management
3. Maximize, then:

Run the system file checker and reboot when you are asked to.

Cable Modem won't install

This is what I get when I try to reinstall my cable modem, using the CD, to allow internet access. No hardware changes since I last accessed the internet using this desktop, before BSOD problems.

Here is the Disk Management and System File Checker, as requested:

Ah that makes sense, did you re-install from your recovery partition or a disk? Don't delete those partitions!!

Can you fill in your system specs, click the link in my sig

System Specs?

Couldn't transfer SystemInfo.exe program from thumbdrive onto desktop as I got an error message. Any advice on how I can get system info?

While I was checking this board, the desktop rebooted itself and had this error message, if this information is any help.

I may be able to hasten the fix if I can connect to the internet. This laptop and other wireless work fine, so I'm sure it's not my connection.

Took it to Best Buy, where purchased and still under warranty. Their scans said it's not hardware, but software.

Won't Even Load XP!

Out of frustration, I even tried loading XP, but got the following BSOD:

*** STOP: 0x0000007b (0XF78D663C, 0xC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

Could it be a virus? Won't connect to internet to check. Any advice?

Downloaded, transfered and ran Kaperskey Virus Scan, which found some memory problems. While I was out, my wife called Dell Customer Service who said that it was a software problem - missing driver (corrupted by a virus) and tried to sell us a $169 program (which we declined).
