It all started when I installed Win 7 after a Linux usage for a couple of months. First I thought it was uTorrent that screwed it up so I removed it but it still gave BSODs at least once a day. Haven't had the energy to do anything about it until now so now I'm asking you guys for advice how to get rid of it.
I have activated minidump in Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Setting in Startup and Recovery > Small memory dump (256KB) under System failure.
Got a BSOD a couple of minutes ago but I didn't get a minidump output from it.

Attached the four debug reports I got from SF Diagnostic Tool.

Appreciate any help I can get,
Johan

Hi,

No minidumps were included - and no trace of any BSODs to be found in any of the logs.

Check C:\Windows for a file called MEMORY.DMP - if there is one there can you zip it up and upload it (but to an external file host such as RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting due to the size of it)

The only possible software cause that was immediately apparent to me - Panda Internet Security. 3rd party AVs/Firewalls have been known to cause problems and it would pay to remove it just in case.

How can I uninstall my Panda antivirus 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008 from my computer? - Panda Security

After removal install MSE - http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

However, the fact that no minidumps were created is often a sign of hardware problems.

So, run the following hardware tests too.

Also - in the system recovery control panel turn off the Automatically Restart option. Then next time you get a BSOD you should have time to take a photo of it for us to have a look at.

Reventon
