Welcome
You certainly did have a lot of BSODs. Unfortunately, your files do not reveal the solution, and give very few hints. Lets get some more information before we proceed
Do you get BSODs in safe mode?
Have you made any changes just prior to getting your BSODs
Do you engage in any particular activity when you BSOD, eg, watching videos or playing games?

The only thing that I think that I may have installed is a BIOS update? I did run a memory test and after an 8 hr run, no errors or problems.

How do you work in safe mode?

Safe mode seems to do OK. No crashes anyway while I was running the SF application. Error codes are always different and the situations when the machine crashes are always different.

OK, might be a bit of trial and error, but right now based upon your answers, I think its best to test drivers.
This should NOT be done in safe mode
Driver Verifier
I'd suggest that you firstbackup your data and then make sure you've got access to another computer soyou can contact us if problems arise. Then make a System Restore point (so youcan restore the system using the Vista/Windows 7 Startup Repair feature).
In Windows 7 you can make a Startup Repair disk by going to Start....AllPrograms...Maintenance...Create a System Repair Disc - with Windows Vistayou'll have to use your installation disk or the "Repair your computer"option at the top of the Safe Mode menu .
Then, here's the procedure:
- Go to Start and type in "verifier" (without the quotes) and press Enter
- Select "Create custom settings (for code developers)" and click"Next"
- Select "Select individual settings from a full list" and click"Next"
- Select everything EXCEPT FOR "Low Resource Simulation" and click"Next"
- Select "Select driver names from a list" and click "Next"
Then select all drivers NOT provided by Microsoft and click "Next"
- Select "Finish" on the next page.
Reboot the system and wait for it to crash to the Blue Screen. Continue to useyour system normally, and if you know what causes the crash, do thatrepeatedly. The objective here is to get the system to crash because Driver Verifier isstressing the drivers out. If it doesn't crash for you, then let it run for atleast 36 hours of continuous operation (an estimate on my part).
If you can't get into Windows because it crashes too soon, try it in Safe Mode.
If you can't get into Safe Mode, try using System Restore from yourinstallation DVD to set the system back to the previous restore point that youcreated.
