Every last .dmp pins the issue on "sbbotdi.sys", which belongs to software published by "SpeedBit Ltd." Whatever it is that you are using by this company (Download Accelerator Plus, SpeedOptimizer or SpeedBit Video Accelerator perhaps), uninstall and see if your issue clears up.

Hopefully that solved it . You're welcome!

*Edit*

Sorry, hadn't seen your question the first time I read your post. If you've uninstalled the "SpeedBit Video Accelerator" and "sbbotdi.sys" is gone, I'd expect that the "Download Accelerator Plus" would be fine. If you continue to get blue screens of death, upload more minidumps.

BugCheck C4, {3c, 618, 82a90e70, 0}

Probably caused by : SPBBCDrv.sys (SPBBCDrv+4ce1e)


SPBBCDrv.sys belongs to Symantec's software. Review this support page by Microsoft.

Before you uninstall that, test your RAM with Memtest86 as it may be defective.

Test your RAM with Memtest86 before anything else. Let it run for a minimum of 7 passes, which is going to take several hours. You may also want to run a chkdsk on your HDD for the hell of it.

If they turn up clean, yes, uninstall Symantec's software.

Some how, I don't believe you ran the test for 7 passes . Anyway, within the last dump:

Dump 032408-04:

BugCheck C4, {3c, 624, 82a90e70, 0}

Probably caused by : SPBBCDrv.sys (SPBBCDrv+4ce1e)


I know nothing about your PC. I don't know the hardware specifications, I don't know how you have things configured and what's installed. So far, all I can see is that you like mainstream fluff software that hogs system resources and given the errors you've been having, something isn't working properly. So, I can't tell you for sure why your PC is running "slow", from hundreds if not thousands of miles away. Once you get the BSOD issues resolved, disable excess services and processes from msconfig, perhaps that will help.

i have run memtest for as long as it said press esc to exit
however i noticed i dont have SPBBCDRV.sys in my system maybe the previous bsod erased it or something i sarched for the file since it said in a site if it that file exists in c windows system it is amlware
when i searched there is no such file
maybe that is the prob
the system has been slow from this morning
i have a intel (R) Pentium 4 cpu 3.2 GHz

Yes, follow that Microsoft page, it's why I posted it initially, and I'm sure peterdiva didn't post it if he didn't feel it was worth a shot .

Complete the guide posted here as well if you feel it may be malware related.

If your BSOD's continue, I would uninstall Symantec's software (hell, I'd uninstall it anyway *barf*). If they still persist after uninstalling Symantec's software reseat your internal cables and components (especially your RAM).

You may also want to let Memtest86 run for an extended period of time. As far as I know, it will run in a continuous loop unless you intervene.
