There is only 1 .dmp file in the upload, please check the C:\Windows\minidump folder for more.

There are several older drivers on the system that could very well be causing the problem

scmndisp.sys Wed Jan 17 02:48:03 2007
teamviewervpn.sys Thu Dec 13 04:22:09 2007
RtNdPt60.sys Sun Jul 19 22:27:32 2009

In addition to the advice by Wrench97 to update the drivers, please could you run the following hardware tests?

RAM - Please run Memtest86+ to check your RAM. A tutorial on how to do this is available here: Test RAM With Memtest86+

HDD - Check your HDD for errors using Seatools. A tutorial for this is available here: Hard Drive (HDD) Diagnostics

Regards,
Stephen

Thanks Wrench97,

I guess Advanced Systemcare is deleting Minidump maby? I will turn it off and install the drivers you have listed.

God I hope it's that easy, I guess like most things in life, only time will tell. I will re-post outcomes either in a week or so or after my next BSOD (No no God No....lol)

Thanks again for the direction!

Thanks Tekno Venus will do... Champion! ;-)

I hope you're not using Advanced System Care??? This software is a known cause of BSOD's. Most people here do not recommend the use of automatic optimisation tools for Windows 7. Microsoft have improved Windows 7 and 8 significantly and it is much better at organising and optimising itself than its predecessors. Windows 7 and 8 are not XP. Automated optimisation software can delete important registry entries that can cause multiple problems with Windows.

If you feel the need to use a registry cleaning or optimisation software, I recommend the use of CCleaner but make sure you back up the registry before making letting ccleaner delete anything.
I also recommend the use of Puran Defrag to defragment your HDD. Check the "Boost Overall System Speed By Puran Intelligent Optimizer (PIZOR) under additional operations.

Looking again at your attached files, I recommend removing all the following software:

Code:

Advanced SystemCare 6
IObit Malware Fighter

I do not trust IObit Malware Fighter to offer protection, and you already have a current A/V software installed. If you want on-demand malware scanning, I highly recommend ]Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free

Stephen

A great big thanks to all that posted their assistance. After following all the suggestions (except the ram test, it scared the hell out of Me that i might fry my system or something....lol....) I again had two more bsod's.
Reading through the notes I did a little research of my own and realised that in my "noobyness" buying all my own components I purchased my ram as 2 corsair ddr3 6gb packs (3x2gb sticks x 2) thinking I would have two spare sticks should I ever have to replace 1 or two etc....
After visiting corsairs website I realised that these kits are designed for motherboards with 3 slots!!!! And upon further inspection that the kits i have (CMZ6GX3M3A1600C8) are not suitable for my board.

Time to buy new ram i'd guess.

If anyone thinks this ram should be ok let me know, otherwise thanks again and all the Best for The future

Memtest shouldn't scare you. In fact, it's one of the safest diagnostic tests available. Testing the RAM is a very low-intensive procedure and will not put any of your parts in jeopardy. Seatools is actually quite more stressful since it can easily degrade the lifespan of a hard drive if done too much, especially on a drive who's health has already been compromised by some internal fault. However, it is safe to just do the SMART test, the Short DST test and the Short Generic. The Long Generic and the Fix All tests are by far the most strenuous and it is not recommended to do those tests unless all files have been backed up and you are under dire circumstances and have few other options.

Hope the new RAM works out for ya.

Thanks Gnarus

Smart test will be the very first thing i do if the ram replacement does not stop my BSOD hell.

I have to say again, thanks to all who contributed to this post via replies and advice, i cannot express how much I appreciate it period.

Cheers,

Drucey
