Help!!
I have been getting occasional BSODs, with Kernal_stack_inpage error codes x00000077 or 7a. The event viewer is showing frequent HDD contoller errors on \Device\Harddisk0\D (event ID 11), with less frequent ATAPI parity errors on \Device\Ide\IdePort0 (event ID 5) and HDD errors during paging operations (event ID 51). Also, when CDs are being played, cdrom bad block errors occur (event ID 7).
I have an Acer Aspire laptop 1692wlmientium M 170, 1.73 GHz;Acer, Crane motherboard; System BIOS: Acer 3A17; i915GM/PM chipset; 2x 256 Mb DDR2 SD-RAM; Adapter: ATI mobility radeon X700; HDD: IC25N080ATMR04-0 (75GB);CD-ROM/DVD: Mat****a UJ-845D; Windows Pro SP2.
A bit of history--similar errors (event ID 11, 5 and 51) occured in the first few months of operation (last september) with BSODs of an error code 8e (I think). The Acer Techs replaced the motherboard, which fixed the problem until recently. I fear it is the motherboard again, and my warranty has run out.
I installed Speedfan to check the core temp, it is maintained around 53-56 degrees Celius. I used the IBM disk utilities to check the HDD, which showed no errors after testing O/N. I have defragged the pagefile, updated the chipset drivers, and tested each stick of RAM separately using x86 memtest and windows memtest for at least 8 passes (no errors found), and still I have these errors.
I have attached three minidumps from the four BSODs that have occurred since the errors began on the 27th of August (the fourth occurred during start up and no minidump was created, it as a Kernal-stack-inpage error, x000-etc-77
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
