Vista BSOD and services stop running

Hi all,

Like most people who use vista there experience is riddles with troubles....mine too!
I logon to windows and guaranteed I will have some sort of BSOD, it's very rare that I don't.
My machine is built by myself (this is the 4th I've built so I know my hardware), the BSOD range from the following codes:

0x0000001a
0x0000003b
0x000000fa
0x00000024

They're rarely the same twice!
I ran a memtest around 2months ago everything turned up ok....i'm running another this morning whilst I'm at work just to make sure.

The other problem I get is whilst running vista is that I keep getting vista service messages popping up saying that 'This Microsoft service has stopped running' things like 'superfetch' (causing my aero on vista to disable????), 'COM service', 'DNS service' some other 'protocol service' etc. etc

Some of these pop up and soon as I hit the desktop after typing in my password.
Anyways I persevered cos i get the odd good day and most of teh services don't affect my work.....I recently purchased a new hard drive for my work and did a fresh install of vista in the hope it would sort the problem.....same thing is happening, and that was after a fresh install!

I even tested windows 7 rc1 out 1 but was getting an install error on one of my main bits of Autodesk software....error 1335 max.cab cannot be found or is corrupt?????.....thinking this was win7 I put vista on and I get the same error????

This cant be a hardware problem as surely I would be getting consistent errors all the time....there are some days where nothing goes wrong and I have around 4-5 bits of 3d and compositing software running at the same time....it's almost like it performs better when its doing loads of stuff!

My PC specs are below:

AMD Phenom II X4 2.5ghz (cpu)
Asus M3a32-MVP deluxe wifi (motherboard)
8GB RAM
ATI Radeon 3870 X2 2048mb (Graphics card)
Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatality1 (sound card)
2 x Seagate 1TB 32mb cache (hard drive)
Western Digital 1TB 32mb cache (hard drive)
3 monitors (26" and two 19")

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated, i'm pretty certain it's not hardware related?!?!

Thanks

Sonder!

I have seen a post somewhere that stated that 0x000001A is related to
hardware not being properly inserted into slots, or bad conacts in slots.

One thing I found by googling was some poeple are getting 0x0000003b due to bad RAM, I don't know if that helps, you could try running something like memtest to check if it's ok.

The name of your error code (0c000000fa) is HTTP DRIVER CORRUPTED. This indicates that the HTTP kernel driver (Http.sys) has reached a corrupted state
and cannot recover.

And about this BSOD (0x00000024): Error message in Windows 2000: "Stop 0x24" or "NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM"

Consistency in crash patterns is generally associated with software problems, while inconsistency tends to point at hardware. Software bugs crop up in the same place over and over again, given the same starting conditions, but variations in bad hardware behaviour are myriad and unpredictable.

Anyway, there's no need to guess at this stuff. Every time your machine bluescreens, it writes a summary memory dump as a new DMP file in the \windows\minidump folder. If you copy the latest half-dozen of those files to another folder, zip them all up, and upload the zip archive here, someone might be able to analyse the dumps with a debugger and tell you whether there appears to be a common link.

If I were to take a guess, remove the sound card and use the mobo sound. See if the BSOD stop.

Thx for the replies guys, I will certainly upload the mini dump files....real silly question but where do I upload the file to on the site, or do I just attach in the post?
