    Hey guys,

    So I've had a very smooth experience with my G73 for almost three years now but as of late, it has been blue screening right and left ESPECIALLY when I leave
    it on overnight. I've tried shutting down every night for a month to see if that would solve it but after two nights of continuously being left on, I woke up in the morning
    to a blue screen notice. Sometimes, the laptop just shuts down and when turning it back on, I am greeted by a dump file. I've posted the relevant files as attachments
    in my post and I'd appreciate any help whatsoever. I'd appreciate any help, thanks in advance. If anyone needs more info, just ask :)

    LINK to the .dmp (dump file): https://www.dropbox.com/s/sctljke4obvarmo/012713-41823-01.dmp

    Have you checked your temperatures?

    Have you run memtest86+ through at least one full pass?

    Are the BSODs different stop codes or are they always one or a handful of the same error codes?

    One dump file isn't going to tell us much unless the stop code is always the same. Get something like bluescreenview or whocrashed and look at previous dumps.

    Got bluescreenview and all the dumps seem to have been caused by "ntoskrnl" so I did some googling and am going to try a few things out. Temperatures are fine and I'll run memtest86 if something else goes wrong. Thanks!

    ntoskrnl (the windows kernel, or core of the os) could point to a number of things (like drivers), the stop code will be a hex number like 0x123 and have a name associated with it in all capital letters.

    Looked at a few other threads and decided to download ThrottleStop and tweak a few settings. It should be fine now and if the problem returns I guess I'll be back here. Thanks again everyone!
