Although not conclusive the dmp seems to indicate that this is a memory problem.
Download the free memtest
MemTest for Windows Download Page
Run for 8 passes.
When done take each stick and test in them in the same slot, one at a time. Run each test for 8 passes.

Hello Wakzilla,

In addition to what Richard has said, I would request you try the suggestions mentioned in this article (even though the article is based on Windows 7, the steps are similar for Windows Vista). You may also try running the the Pre-Boot SystemAssessment (PSA / ePSA) Diagnostics. Run the test and check if it gives any error code. Note down the error code and update me with the same, I would let you know the next course of action.

Please write back with your findings. [FONT=Arial, sans-serif][/FONT]

Hello Wakzilla,

I would request you to run the Custom Test from the Dell 32-bit Diagnostics on the hard drive and the check the functionality. Also run the Mp-memory Diagnostics to check the functionality of the memory modules.

Please write back with your findings.

Hello I've been having BSOD problems since last summer and dont know who to fix them. Last summer i couldnt even log in without going in safe mode so someone on here recommended a clean boot which alleviated the problem about being unable to log in but it has been a recurring issue since then and I don't know why. Sometimes I get the iastor.sys message and other times I get the irql not less or equal to so im not sure what the problem is. I am attaching the dump files from last summers computer state and the current state of my computer. It might also be related to why i cant install a security update from windows update if anyone can help me on that too.

Hello Wakzilla,

In order to assist you further, I would request you to help me with the blue-screen stop error code you are getting.

Check for out dating drivers and missing drivers. If you are overclocking, stop, and check settings/status.
