M860TU Random BSOD (minidumps inc)

Hi

I have just purchased a m860tu and am/was loving it until these BSOD started appearing! I have been trying to read these files using the windbg tool from microsoft but they dont make sense to me.

Because its so random I have always had in the back of my mind that its a duff memory problem and I will have to RMA the laptop.

I realise that I should update all the drivers and I have updated the graphics with the latest laptop drivers direct from nvidia (179.28_notebook_winvista_64bit_beta.exe). I unistalled these and put them back to the drivers on the disk but these bsod everytime when starting up so I have reverted back to the beta one, which so far seems to be holding up.

I am tempted to start from scratch and reinstalling vista and download all the latest drivers from internet without going near the driver disk that came with it?

I have a basicly good understanding of computers but its not that great and vista is completly new to me. All the minidumps I have in the folder are attached, if anyone could let me know what these mean it would be really great as I am rapidly losing my mind with this lol!

Im just happy it hasn't BSOD on me whilst writing this!!!

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Ran across this article and I think it might be able to help you out.

 

Thanks for the link!

So far I have been able to confirm from the dumps that for the most part ntoskrnl.exe is the main culprit. Although the first BSOD was win32k.sys, with avgldx64.sys and USBPORT.SYS thrown in there to spice it up.

I did get a BSOD when I plugged in my USB Intellimouse explorer 3.0 so that would explain the usbport.sys one, I have tried to update the drivers for it but guess what BSOD lol! I will try again in a minute. Thus far googling these files with BSOD hasn't reveled much as to the individual cause or solution I shall have to dig deeper!

Dont know if it makes a difference but I get BSOD in safe mode too!

 

I think you should contact CS for them to follow this up, its not normal to begin with.

 

God it's random just been playing CSS for about an hour hasn't done anything. Well it never has when playing CSS actually only installing drivers / playing blu-ray. Yeah I will contact overclockers tomorrow see if they know anything.
