BSOD every 30 mins or less

[JamesH86]

First off, what a great resource, you seem to have some very knowledgable people on these boards!

I have been suffereing from BSODS every 30mins or less for a while now on my XP SP3 machine.

I will attach some of the minidumps from today, if anyone can make head or tail of it, I would be most grateful. I have tried reformatting and running chkdsk but it usually restarts before either has completed! I will try memtest on it but I'm not entirely sure which of the 9 tests would be best to use?

All the best,

James

Here is the Memtest Guide

But the fault is with your AVG Antivirus and Zone Alarm
This is what I'd do

Uninstall your AVG Antivirus
Then run the removal tool
Here is the 32Bit version (most users): http://www.avg.com/filedir/util/avg_arm_sup_____.dir/avgremover.exe
Here is the 64Bit version: http://www.avg.com/filedir/util/avg_arv_sup_____.dir/avgremoverx64.exe

Restart

Install Avira free AntiVirus
Update it
Run a full scan
Report findings

Any further issues uninstall Zone Alarm and try Comodo

Thanks for your kind words too :grinthumb

Thank you, I will try that later today when I can get home, and report back my findings. It should be pretty evident if it has cured it, but your confidence has inspired me!

All the best,

James
