About 3-4 weeks ago, I initiated a thread about my PC's blue screen events (BSE) (aka crash) which had been occurring since I replaced my PC's hard drive 6-7 weeks ago:
Jnjroach suggested I update the video driver and, in case this did not alleviate the problem, to repair the OS from the source disk. After I updated the video driver, the frequency of BSEs seemed to decrease precipitously, but about 7-10 days ago, they recurred with a vengeance. I then attempted to repair the Vista operating system from my original source CD, but the PC indicated no error was present, so no repair was performed. The BSEs are now seriously hindering the use of my PC; today alone five BSEs occurred. I performed a Blue Screen View (BSV), which produced much data that I could not decipher. I performed a BSV for the last 10 BSEs that have occurred and, despite my inability to interpret them, I discerned that they were virtually identical for all 10 of the most recent BSEs.
In the meantime, my PC automatically downloads all Windows Vista updates as they become available and I have installed all of them except for the upgrade from internet explorer 7 (IE 7) to IE 8; I prefer how IE 7 manages the Favorites during the copy phase over IE 8. Antivirus protection is provided by Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE), which I keep updated and run constantly in real time, and I ran a full scan several days ago with no virus threats detected. I use Malwarebytes for malware protection and likewise keep it updated and scan my PC periodically with no threats again identified. My PC's other primary software are Microsoft Office Student and Home Edition, VideoLAN media player, Adobe Reader, Java, iTunes, and QuickTime, all of which are updated regularly and have been apparently been working well. The BSEs seemingly occur randomly and do not appear to be associated with any specific PC activity, time of day, or other events I can discern.
I would greatly appreciate any advice and suggestions to rectify the situation. In case this is helpful, I have attached a sequential text list of all the files named by Blue Screen View for the latest BSE that occurred some 2 hours ago; as I mentioned above, the file list is identical for at least the last 10 BSEs. I constructed this list with Windows Notepad and most plain text readers should be able to open it as well. Thanks much for reading this rather lengthy narrative and for any advice/suggestions.
