Random Freezes & Frequent BSOD

[AV8Rs]

Up until a week ago none of these problems existed; also restored Windows to a point before the problems with no change. Memtest returned no errors.

Windows randomly freezes indiscriminantly. It can be during idle, accessing a program, browsing the web, etc. Keyboard is unresponsive and HDD in-use light remains unlit.

Combined with this there have been several BSOD, average Windows runtime before BSOD ranges between 2-20 minutes. Below is my system information along with dump files.

Windows 7 32-bit (upgrade from OEM Vista)
AMD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 6000+
3GB RAM

Only upgrade to the OEM system has been a GTX 9800+ which has been running issue-free for the past year.

How To Find Drivers:

- search Google for the name of the driver
- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to
- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).
- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.

- - Driver manufacturer links are on this page: Drivers and Downloads

I note you have Symantec / Norton.
Symantec is a frequent cause of BSOD's.
Please remove and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST
