All browsers and random games crash

<< < (2/10) > >>

Shane:
The tool in Windows 7 is the same one, just good idea to boot off a cd and not have anything from windows loaded up :-)

timscape:
First, thank you so much for the help. 

Next, the memory test showed no errors.  I ran Windows Scandisk on a reboot with no errors on my hard drive.

Now, it's Sherlock time, eh?

timscape:
I am replying to my own reply (and my browser just crashed twice). Went into my computer in safe mode with networking and could not replicate the problem.

timscape:
I ran a portable utility called BlueSceenView that displays crashes and the drivers involved. 
Attached is the report on my last three crashes.  Not sure what to do about it.  Do you have some advice?

Shane:
So you couldnt get it to crash in safe mode?

Safe mode only loads the bare minimum drivers and programs, so at least we know it should be windows but instead a driver or program.

The only thing to do is to try one thing at a time and go down the list till the problem goes away and we know which driver or program caused it.

First thing would be to uninstall the antivirus and reboot and try it, a lot of antiviruses install their own system drivers and such. So thats the first to test.

After that if you still have the problem is to us msconfig.exe and disable any and all startup programs and services you dont need to see if it might be a program doing it.

And then if that doesnt work it is time to start removing drivers, video first and then use the MS standard drivers for it and then move on to sound.
