Now I noticed in the log that you posted that it wasnt always the atapy.sis but also a few other files with all the same error.

So a couple of questions

1. have you ran chkdsk c: /r on the system yet to check for bad sectors?

Yes

2. Have you ran combofix.exe and tdsskiller.exe yet?

I just ran tdsskiller, and it did not indicate any problem. Perhaps I need to interpret something.

I did not succeed in running combofix. When it got to the scan portion, it froze the computer, including the clock, twice. I ran it in safe mode, and after 25 minutes, there were no results and no CPU activity and the computer appeared to be frozen except for the clock.

I did run GMER without finding any problem.

You said the problems where happening before you replaced the dvd drive, so we know that isnt the cause.

It has been happening occasionally for quite a while. Then I upgraded Macrium Reflect to v.6. I ran a backup successfully. I ran an incremental backup successfully, but the second incremental caused the BSOD.  It has done this every time that I have tried it. Macrium is not been able to figure out what is causing it. after I upgraded Macrium Reflect, the crashes started occurring more and more frequently.

have you also made sure to get all the current updates for XP?

 Yes.

Thank you.

Phil

Which can be caused by faulty memory, have you done a memory test yet?

Yes, I ran the latest version of memtest86, two passes no errors.

Hi!

What did you change before concerning your hardware?

HDW

  I replaced an Asus DVD player and burner that would no longer burn DVDs with a new one of the same model, but the problem goes back to before that.

I did run the Repair Environment Variables and reboot. Actually, I've done that several times now, but when I run the scan after rebooting I still get:

But for the best results it is recommended to fix the problems reported in this scan if possible.
If you need help fixing any of the items in the log, just post in the forums at Tweaking.com for help.

This is after I have clicked on every repair option that I can find and after rebooting.

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Clean boot vs. Safe mode

« on: February 22, 2015, 09:41:07 am »

What is the difference in results between booting into safe mode and and a clean boot when using your repair tool?

I ask because booting into safe mode is really easy, and when I try to do a clean boot by disabling the non-Microsoft programs on the services tab, the computer tells me that it cannot disable all of them and perhaps I should log in as an administrator. Well, I am the administrator.

What do you suggest?

Thank you for your help.
