various BSOD...ARRRGH!

[jpeeps]

Hello and first I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this and any help you can provide..

Well I have been battling this problem for a week. I like to think I aqnm pretty computer savy but this one has me stumped. I opened a file on the internet and it GOT ME.. Computer locked up and restarted... now i can ony go into safe mode.. I have tried the following.. Repair my computer, Ran virus scans, took HD out and attached to another computer ran scan, removed all hardware and restarted.. removed Ram, ran scandisk.. chkdisk, bootsect /nt60 All..... all to no avail...
I have gotten the following BSOD's
IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (Mostly)
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
REFERENCE_BY_POINTER
SYSTEMS_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (mostly)
in looking at the .dmp files the BSOD seems to center around the ntoskrnl.exe driver.. but I am not sure what or where it comes from

PLEASE HELP.. I hate to have to reinstall everything..

I have an image but have been having issues with windows 7 finding it on an external drive AAARRRRGH!!

Specs are athlon phenom 9500 2.20 Mhz
8GB Ram
ASUS MB
Windows 7 x64

ASACPI.sys the 2005 version is a huge cause of BSOD's

Please visit this link: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.-Support- download_item_mkt
Scroll down to the Utilities category, then scroll down to the "ATK0110 driver for WindowsXP/Vista/Windows 7 32&64-bit " (it's about the 8th item down).
Download and install it.
Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers to check and make sure that the ASACPI.sys file is date stamped from 2009 or 2010 (NOT 2005).

Update your Acronis software, the driver it uses is obsolete http://www.acronis.com/main.html

This suggest a hardware fault with the HDD, are you using a raid setup?
Run seatools

[jpeeps]

no raid setup

 

[jpeeps]

that could have been because I had a usb stick attached... I removed it and I am in safe mode

 

[jpeeps]

will post new dump shortly................thanks again for your help!

[jpeeps]

installed safemsi and uninstalled logmein.

 

[jpeeps]

well..... OMG.. i used the safemsi to remove some of the last programs I had installed.. especially logmein(I will add later) There were some mysterious applications that were on my system.. I am now in the main system ... no BSOD !!!!!!!! I just set the start up programs and ready to restart....Im scared to do it but that will be a true test


welll as I was typing this message...I got the dreaded BSOD AGAIN on the same computer I was working on.... I was on my desktop for about 5-10 minutes.. SHIT

 

[jpeeps]

well I would like to thank you for all your help.. here is a tip for everyone that is having a problem. YOU SHOULD BACK UP THE IMAGE OF YOUR C DRIVE USING THE WINDOWS 7 UTILITY.

I decided I could not wait any longer and basically used a image that I created (first time used) about 1 week ago.... THIS IS WHAT SAVED ME from doing a fresh install.

So in short back up regularly using the image.. then if you have a problem you can always go BACK to your image. Just remember it will format all the drives attached even though you select C, Z to restore, AND you have to remove the date from the name of the backup folder so windows will see it...

Thanks again for everyones help
