Unexpected shutdown / BDOD on a new computer with Win 7

[YuvalR]

Over the last month or so I get almost every day an unexpected shutdown of BSOD type which I cannot resolve. The sympthom is: sometimes when I wake the computer from sleep, it is restarting from boot. I can't see what was the situation before than because it was sleeping, but it doesn't look good especially because the crash sometimes causes HD inconsistency problems which are resolved during reboot.

This is happening only when the computer is not working for a while (sleeping) - never when I use it. In attempt to isolate the problem I switched "Put the computer to sleep" to "Never" but that didn't help, so the crash must be originating from somewhere else.

Sometimes when the OS returns from the crash it announces a BSOD unexpected shutdown. I attach here related image, XML and DMP files.

I also ran a windows memory scan but no problems were found.

My configuration:
I have an Acer 5740G laptop, bought just a couple of months ago.
No special drivers were explicitly installed on it, except for a USB KVM switch. Also connected an external HD.

Please help,

Yuval

Welcome to SF!

Very straightforward. The DirectX portion of your video card is causing the trouble. I suggest updating your drivers, or uninstall them completely and install a fresh copy.
