Thank you for your great support site.
I run on WinXP SP2 (but I tried also to upgrade to SP3 to no avail) and once in a while I face the BSOD with the message (after reboot) that it was due to hardware device problems.
I include the last minidumps, in case there are some gurus that kindly want to have a look at them, to pin down the problem.
So far I tried:
a) Cleaned the not necessary drivers and updated the ones I use (in particular the video and audio ones), and run antivirus and antispyware.
b) Changed the built-in Sound card (I disactivated it via BIOS) and used instead a PCI one.
c) Degframented the HD and cleaned and fixed the registry
d) Checked the RAM with the dos test MemoryTest 86 (no errors detected)
e) Changed the USB port connection for my external HD,
What I noticed is that when I run intensive CPU/RAM software, with probability one (if I use some programs) the BSOD occures. The last minidump included for instance was made while running Lura PDF compressor to shrink the size of a 45Mb pdf. With this program the BSOD is assured! The same program in the notebook does not cause any issue.
But the BSOD occures also rundomly without any particular use of intensive CPU/RAM consumption.
Could it be due to power problems, or whatever?
I am completely in the dark.
TIA for any help.
