We can analyze the minidumps if you make them available from the SkyDrive or other file
sharing sites.

Zip or upload the contents of C:\Windows\minidump

Use SkyDrive to upload collected files.

Remove ALL power and reseat all cards, memory, and cables (both ends when possible) -
actually remove and replace - do not just snug. Make sure the vents are clear and that the
fans are working. Even though the temp is OK do not assume heat can't affect the video,
sound or other system functions it those get to hot. Try adding a small fan blowing into
the vents as a test. (Those are mostly for a PC not a laptop.)

Have you added any hardware lately? Have you updated any driver just before these started?
(Check Control Panel - Windows Updates to see if any drivers were updated there about the
time this started) Main likely culprits are Video driver, other major drivers, memory, and
antivirus/antispyware/security products could be at fault as well as drive issues.

Use the troubleshooter below and refer to the next message for drivers and memory when
you get to those sections and then return back to the troubleshooter as needed.

Look in the Event Viewer to see if anything is reported about those.

MyEventViewer - Free - a simple alternative to the standard event viewer of
Windows. TIP - Options - Advanced Filter allows you to see a time frame instead
of the whole file.

Here are some methods to possibly fix the blue screen issue. If you could give the Blue Screen
info that would help. Such as the BCC and the other 4 entries on the lower left. And any other
error information such as STOP codes and info such as IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and similar messages.

As examples :

BCCode: 116
BCP1: 87BC9510
BCP2: 8C013D80
BCP3: 00000000
BCP4: 00000002

or in this format :

Stop: 0x00000000 (oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxooooooooo oxoooooooo)
tcpip.sys - Address 0x00000000 base at 0x000000000 DateStamp 0x000000000


This is an excellent tool for posting Blue Screen Error Information

Many BlueScreens are caused by old or corrupted drivers, especially video drivers however
there are other causes.

You can do these in Safe Mode if needed or from Command Prompt from Vista DVD or
Recovery Options if your system has that installed by the maker.

The log might give you the answer if there was a corrupted driver. (Does not tell all the possible
driver issues).

Also run CheckDisk so we can rule out corruption as much as possible.

Often updating drivers will help, usually Video, Sound, Network Card  (NIC), WiFi, 3rd party
