    Sptd.sys and I assume sptd8253.sys (both mentioned in the dump) are a part of Daemon Tools, so it must still be on your system. This may be the problem because from a quick read of the following thread it also installs a SCSI driver. This was the first result from Google. http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/t9327-sptdsys-and-other-sys-problem.html.

    Also, have you done a malware scan? Google Ewido if you haven't.

    This is really bad.

    because even BEFORE installer alcohol120% (no daemon tools) i've ahd the occasional BSOD, 1 a day.

    Now tis like 4-5 a day.

    Just had another one upon reboot from a BSOD. THats 2 in 30 minute window.

    no error messages shown.

    EDIT: Another BSOD!!!! ARGHHH Im going to kill this computer.

    Displayed scsiport.sys

    I ahve no idea why my PC has gone toxic.

    I am also currently running off my windows drive only, so my Raptor and nothing else. So my 250GB SATA2 drive that failed the SMART thing isn't at fault here.

    Ok i just formatted, AGAIN

    Twice in less then a month now.

    Downloading service pack two as i type this.

    I'm so sure this is a hardware problem because.
    The VERY FIRST boot into windows after a FRESH install of XP...
    I get to the plan beautiful clean desktop... at super low resolution, no drivers, no other software installed but windows XP pro SP1 just by itself...

    And BAM STOP ERROR. BSOD.

    EDIT: God i hate this motherboard, or HDD...

    Installign service pack 2, and it BSOD'ed right int he middle.

    Reinstallign it again.

    machine_check_exception, and PC rebooted before i had time to read further.
    And i had my WD 36GB Raptor plugged in only at that point.
