Hi,
Since getting my hard-drive changed some 16 months ago, I've only had my computer crash once (while installing Photoshop), and I'd regularly have over 50 tabs open in Firefox with no problem. However, at the end of September, we decided to move the position of the computer. 15 months ago, they guy who repaired my computer suggested that I use a specific position on the power strip I use (till today) to plug my PC into. Unfortunately I couldn't remember which one it was, and it may have something to do with the crashes (I will be changing the power strip soon, but there may be a possibility of some other problem, which is why I'm posting here). Ever since shifting it, I've had around 7 crashed (though I only have the logs for the last 6 as I thought it would be a one off thing the first time, and ignored it). All of the crashes seem to be caused by the same thing (ntkrnlpa.exe), but klif.sys (from Kaspersky) has also appeared in the stack in Blue Screen viewer in about half of the cases. The only other common link is that in all the cases I was using Firefox (though twice it happened straight after closing Firefox when I wanted to shut down). Also there was a long period between 10/9/2011 and 11/18/2011 where there were no crashes. the I have attached the BlueScreenViewer data below (1 being the earliest, and 4 the latest. Couldn't attach the last two as only 5 attachments are allowed). I use Windows 7, by the way. Thanks.
