    i wouldn't mind throwing in some assistance, but your file host for the .dmp files is bad. The server is down, wont download the .dmp files. can you pick another file host.

    updating ur bios wont get u anywhere, this is a pointless action which might actually screw ur system in your situation. You have a problem with a device driver, which is running to make ur hardware work. to me it seems legit that if ur hardware does not work, the device driver will cause an error.

    Windows will not give u any decent information. This operating system is too closed and simplified to be able to do this. Get urself a version of Backtrack or ubuntu and install it on a seperate partition on ur disk. Run memory tests with the linux kernel and try to run several benchmarks on linux. If a device driver crashes on this OS you will have more detailed information about the device error. If a device does not work, it will not work on windows neither it will on linux.

    An example of a miracle is this: i do a cleaning of my pc once in some time. when i had an nvidia video card and i cleaned, after the cleaning my system was instable. after reinstalling the driver a couple of times the issue was over. very strange thing, dont ask me why, but in this case there is just something very unpredictable going on.

    Your debug information only shows the memory stack of the computer at that time. If you want to know exactly what happened, you need to have quite extended Assembly knowledge, to be more precise: MASM32.

    Besides that, while reading your debug information, i read the following line.

    Probably caused by : ntkrnlmp.exe ( nt!RtlImageNtHeaderEx+3f )

    The second debug information stated the same sort of line:

    Probably caused by : partmgr.sys ( partmgr!PmGlobalDispatch+9f )

    At first these lines indicate that Windows assumes that the following driver caused the error, because the function call, in these cases RtlImageNtHeaderEx and PmGlobalDispatch would have caused the errors. The +3f and +9f indicate the offset in memory where the function error value was stored at that time. In a function call, many operations can be done, including calls to a whole different driver. This means that the debug information could only suggest guesses from Windows Debug, and no reliable information.

    Besides, the symbol information you loaded is general kernel information. Only built-in Windows kernel mode drivers are included in this information. Since we have no idea what kind of drivers he is using this is not accurate as far as i m concerned.

    Your best guess is reinstall ur system. Why? Because you probably dont know what we are all talking about and u dont give a shit to it, u just want ur system fixed.

    I reinstalled it 3 times. It still bsod

    IF it is a driver problem try windows Driver Verifier. Type verifier in the start menu, you will see it.

    err.. perhaps read about it first to see what it does, how it works.

    I don't see how it could be a driver issue if you've reinstalled 3 times. but strange that it works fine in safe mode. I am putting my bet on hardware..
    do you have any spare hardware, HDD, RAM, onboard graphics? or can trade with a friend?

    Also: when you reinstall are you doing a format inbetween installs?

    Does the Event Viewer have any info from the point that is BSODs?

    how about giving the complete loadout of the hardware in your PC.. It might be helpful...?
     
  12. I strongly recommend you guys to have this bookmarked on another computer - Demystifying the 'Blue Screen of Death'

    It shows all the info about the error messages that appears on the BSOD (or some that might not be in the article) and ways to create the DUMPEXAM.EXE file.

    This is the least I can do for you guys at this moment.

    Also, I hope I don't get this kind of BSOD on my Windows 8 Preview XD

    ok atreyu, the bsod information wont get u anywhere so this is what u gotta do, since ur hardware is broken at a hard to identify spot.

    - ubuntu live cd, memory test. dont run a windows memory test;
    - make note of the moments where the blue screen occurs. Take note of what u were doing at that time, and which programs u have had opened. a computer is a logical device. If you tell it to start l4d, it will not start the calculator. there is a specific operation that causes your computer to crash, let that be clear. information that ur blue error screen shows will not be nessecary;
    - burn ur system with benchmarking tools. i suggest u use 3dmark 06 or vantage to burn the shit out of ur graphics card and processor. run it multiple times if it doesnt crash. this is the only way to find out if one of those main components have problems;
    - run superpi on the highest setting for multiple times. also try prime95 and any other cpu load generators available;

    some of my other experienced problems:

    - you got poweriso, or deamon tools or any program that simulates a optical drive? get rid of it, these programs cause these problems too. i wont say that it would for certain in ur case, but i have seen enough cases in which they did. you cannot exclude anything suspicious without having proven it innocent.

    and one last thing. run ur computer in safe mode for some hours, maybe days. if ur system doesnt crash, it is clearly a driver that windows does not load in safe mode, like display, sound, network, etc. You are able to enable each driver one by one for safe mode. This makes it easier to identify faulty drivers.

    good luck

    I am seeing alots of posts about people having more than one antivirus program of firewall. Even if only one is active it could cause driver conflicts. I have seen a few solved threads after removong on of the antivirus or firewall programs.

    Download something like Ultimate Boot CD or Hiren's Boot Disk and perform a hardware diagnostic check by booting off the live cd.

  17. Looks like you need a new harddrive.

    Trust me, my Western Digital at my old workplace had the same error as you.

    Bad sectors = damaged hard drive, which means you need a hard drive.

    Here is a good reason to upgrade to a SSD!

    hmm, but you will probably still need a new HDD for extra secondary storage.

    i need about 500gb but i dont want to get 2 HD's SSD is a little to expensive and as good as it is its offers are like 64GB for $100 =[. To little space dont wanna spend another $80 for HD lol. currently looking at this
