    When you post here, like clicking on Reply (don't use Quick Reply if you want to attach files), then scroll down and below the box where you write reply, there is an option to attach files. Oh and zip it (or rename the extension to .txt).

    ZIP the file, the forum uploader here only accepts certain file types.

    Aha, it's trying to create a ZIP file within your Windows folder, so it fails. Copy the minidump file somewhere else out of windows\minidumps, like on the desktop. Then ZIP it. Sorry, it's been a while since I've done this... got a little bit rusty. :)

    Hmm for me it works perfectly. Did you try just renaming it to .txt ?

    Or... This this. Run winzip or winrar by rightclicking it's icon and choose Run As Administrator. Then ZIP the file...

    EDIT: Still don't see the file lol... :D

    Doesn't look very good:

    Blue screen is caused by the Windows Kernel ntoskrnl.exe, this is from the dump file:

    ntoskrnl.exe
    ntoskrnl.exe+33c3d9
    fffff800`0320c000
    fffff800`037e9000
    0x005dd000 0x4a5bc600
    7/13/2009 7:40:48 PM Microsoft® Windows® Operating System NT Kernel & System Microsoft Corporation C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe


    It seems it's related to the graphic drivers ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms793232.aspx) . When does blue screen happen? Can you reproduce it?

    Did you install any drivers? Try putting Dell graphic drivers, see what happens.

    I feel we have found the source of your problem. :(

    If it's a fresh windows install, with Dell drivers then there isn't much that you can do. It's most likely the hardware error in that case. Yeah call them, and ask for the replacement not repair.

    Sorry, I don't think there's anything we can do if the hardware is malfunctioning, and it most likely is in this case.

    Bubbles,

    Have you tried a factory restore? If not, do so and see if the BSOD persists. If it does not, then you know the hardware is fine and the fresh install was the cause. Wouldn't be the first case of a clean install of Windows having issues. It happens on occasion. Sometimes you just have to start again. :(

    I also suggest changing the error reporting settings to log a full dump rather than a mini-dump since you are having issues. We can analyze both. If you encounter the BSOD again, PM me and we'll take a closer look.

    To change to a full dump, follow this process:

    Open up the System Control Panel
    Left Side Bar - Advanced System Settings
    Advanced Tab
    Startup & Recovery - Settings
    Select 'Kernel Memory Dump' from the pull down menu under 'Write Debugging Information'
    Select OK and close all windows

    If you want to keep playing with it, there are 2 more things:

    1.) Check RAM. Windows comes with it's own tool called Windows Memory Diagnostic. Here's how to run it: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/...s-7-and-vista-with-windows-memory-diagnostic/

    2.) Get more detailed memory dump with "verifier". Run as Administrator -> Command Prompt. Type "verifier /flags 1 /all", then reboot and try to produce another BSOD. This will monitory driver handling in the memory a bit better, and may pick up something else messing up with memory. To reset the verifier, just type "verifier /reset" afterwards.
