BSOD Vista

[john94587]

I have been getting random BSODs lately. I have already checked with Memtest and it showed no errors, but I think it is either the hard drive or memory. Here are the most recent minidumps. I also did chkdsk /f /r and scanned with Seagate's Tool and even tried repairing Vista by upgrading but it BSOD before completing.

I read the stickys on top, but it still didn't help. Would upgrading BIOS help? I don't know the name of my motherboard though.

Ok you had a number of errors

0x24 (Twice) - Probable Cause "Ntfs.sys" - Normally problems associated with the HDD and also Anti-Virus software since you have already done the first steps i would have suggested for this error, next try disabling your Anti-Virus Software and Firewall, use the Windows Firewall as a temporary measure.
Note: The MiniDumps Indicate some sort of error accessing data at a certain address the same on both.

0x1E - Probable Cause "win32k.sys" - Normally caused by Invalid Memory or access violations - probably caused by hardware, since you have tested the RAM check your CPU (L2 Cache) by running Prime95 (Link Below). This will detect a error in minutes if any (Run the "Small FFT's" test).

OS 32bit Version - http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=103
OS 64bit Version - http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=205

0xA - Probable Cause "win32k.sys" - Most common causes can be bad device drivers but also can be caused by Incompatible Hardware and Software.

0x50 - Probable Cause "ntkrpamp.exe" - Normally caused by Defective Memory (L2 Cache, RAM, Video RAM) or Incompatible Software including Anti-Virus software.

0x1A - Probable Cause "ntkrpamp.exe" - Very similar error to 0x50 - The Minidump indicates a process called "SBCSSvc.exe" which is associated with something called CounterSpy i think from a Google search.

Which i guess is your Anti-Spyware i would suggest removing this because other process names include sidebar.exe and logon.scr which me guessing would mean some software at start-up or drivers are causing the system to crash so try to remove all software i suggested and also try cleaning your third party drivers out and reinstalling them fresh (Latest ones if possible). You will find all your device drivers at your manufacturers website
