Hey all,
For a while now I've been having bsods, and I never really knew what to do. It started on vistax64 (spanning multiple installations on multiple harddrives) after I upgraded my memory and my proc.
I ran a memory test (using vista's built in memory tester) for around 18 hours with 8 passes, and there were no errors, so I don't believe it could be a faulty stick. Admittedly I tested all the memory at the same time.
Around 5+ months ago I also ran memtest for 12+ hours and there were no errors reported.
Then just today (on win 7 for the first time ever) I received a pop-up from an nvidia process (I think at least) that said that my psu didn't have enough power to run my gfx card. This only happened once and when I rebooted the warning didn't show again. I'm definitely not gonna throw that off the table though.
I tried to read my minidumps, but honestly I have no idea what I'm looking at. I think some of them point to antivirus, but I read that antivirii can appear to be at fault without actually faulting.
Unfortunately my dumps are too large to even individually upload to this forum, so I zipped them up and uploaded them to acrobat.com:
EDIT: Not able to post links until post #5 -_-. I'll create multiple zip files and attach them here.
Thanks a ton for the help!
Mike
