    Hi, I have recently been getting a huge load of BSODs off my recently bought laptop (around 4-5 months ago) which is an ASUS G53Sw 3D. I can only understand that the causes are hal.dll and something else that i'm not quite sure of. Regardless, I have no idea how to fix this. Please do help. Below are the specs of my laptop and below that are the blue screen details that I've gotten off Blue Screen Viewer. Please Help!

    ASUS G53 Sw 3D:
    Intel Core i7 2630QM 2.0 Ghz (upto 2.9ghz Turbo Boost), 6MB L3 Cache
    Win 7 Home Premium
    8GB DDR3 Ram
    NVIDIA GTX 460M 1.5GB
    650GB SATA 5krpm
    Bluray DVD Combo
    Atheros Wireless Card
    Realtek LAN Card
    etc.


    Attached are the details of the BSOD (taken via BlueScreenViewer)

    Please please please Help!

    Hi JOSEA, Thanks for the quick reply! Is there any specific method to find out the root of this problem? It's been going on for months now, at least a few BSOD's a day if you read the txt file.

    The link you gave me suggests performing a hardware diagnostic to be done, not entirely sure where to start from there.. any pointers? Thanks in advance :)
