Widnows 7 constant bsod's

[paudashlake]

This is becoming a largely annoying problem.  When I am browsing the internet, watching a video, or anything else online, I will eventually get a bsod.  I am not sure what causes them because they seem to be triggered by different things at different times, but I think it is just when I am online for the most part.  This also happens while I am playing games, actually.  Now getting a blue screen here and there is not too bad because that has been the case since I built the computer a little over a year ago, but now that I put windows 7 64 bit on, I get them every-single-day!  it has never been this bad before, and I think it might be a hardware issue.  the only changes made since I was running the windows rc is that I am now using wired instrad of wireless internet.  I just don't get it.  What can I do to find the cause and remove the issue?

thx

Start by posting the entire BSOD message...including the gibberish...

where do I get this info.  the bios flashes and disappears too fast for me to copy it down

System Properties - Advanced - Startup & Recovery Settings. Uncheck "automatically restart". Next time, the blue screen will remain up.

sorry for the delay i did not get any for the rest of the night.

I have to post this as a picture because I cannot type it all..
Sorry it is so big but you need to be able to read it
and yes, the mouse is frozen on the screen when it crashes (upper left)

That blue screen code is related to, according to MS, a device driver, system firmware, or an upgrading error.  Since your watching video or playing games when it happens, my first bet would be that it's related to your video driver.  Reinstalling or updating the video driver may fix the problem.

Are you using a video card or is it onboard video?  Post your computer specs...



It could also be a ram issue.  I just fixed a blue screen error a week ago on someone's Dell system with the same blue screen code.  The problem was not a driver issue in this case, it was a ram issue.  One of the ram modules had gone bad.  Starting the computer with only one stick of ram may help.  This will help isolate what ram module is the culprit, if ram is the problem.  Re-seating the ram may help.  If starting the computer with only one stick of ram leaves you with insufficient memory to start the OS, just download and run MEMtest86 and run diagnostics for a couple of hours and see if it reports "errors".  Burn the .iso file to Cd and boot off of it

Also, if reinstalling/updating the video driver doesn't help, try disabling your anti-virus software for a possible fix, before going onto to test the memory..

my computer specs are next to my avatar, and they are updated and correct.  I will try to reinstall the vidieo driver

If reinstalling the driver doesn't help you need to look and see if there is an updated driver available from here:

They require you to register to get the latest drivers
