My computer also crashes at random, and I have tried many things, from updating my BIOS, when I first got a warning that that was the cause, to reinstalling all of my drivers, when that became the issue. Also, I tried to do the bypass that Windows told me, which was to turn off my hardware acceleration, as well as disable write combining. This didn't work, and also prevented me from using a lot of my programs and games. Lastly, I took a look at my case, and checked the fans and temperature. Despite a bit of dust, everything was working fine. A few things, my video card, and my motherboard were warm, but nothing too hot. I mean when you are running high end programs, and games that pull a lot on your hardware, what do you expect. So, since I have an Asus motherboard, I have a program called AI Booster, which allows me to control the output/performance of it, as well as check on the CPU. I looked at the temperature of the CPU (38 degrees Celsius), the rpm of its fan (1985), and its volt meter (1.41). As for the memory, the volt meter read 2.55, and for the AGP, it was 1.60. The system came in at 36 degrees Celsius; however the power and chassis both read 0 rpm, which is bizarre. This is where I hung up the towel, and decided to seek advice. So, in order to aid you in helping me out, I have attached the information from the DxDiag scan, and a minidump file. They include all of my hardware information.
