    Hi,

    Please make sure the system is clean by running your antivirus software and perform a full disk scan first.

    Certain things you can try are to find out the root cause of the problem are given below.
     
    1.  Have a look whether you can reproduce the problem in safe mode.
     
    Start your computer in safe mode
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode
     
    If behavior doesn’t persist in safe mode, it indicates that a third party program or service is preventing you from performing the action as supposed to.
     
    To validate or determine which service/startup item could be causing this, restart the computer and boot to desktop normally. Once done, perform clean boot.
     
    2.  Clean Boot prevents software conflicts by preventing the startup items and non Microsoft services from loading. This way you can safely follow the process of elimination to check which application is causing this behavior.
     
    Refer:
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Note: Ensure that you put your computer back to normal startup mode after completing the troubleshooting steps. Steps are available in the article given above.

    Since Windows system uses separated user mode and kernel mode memory space, stop errors are always caused by kernel portion components, such as a third-party device drivers, backup software or anti-virus services (buggy services).

    The system goes to a BSOD because there is some exceptions happened in the kernel (either the device driver errors or the service errors), and Windows implements this mechanism: When it detects some errors occur in the kernel, it will kill the box in case some more severe damage happens. Then we get a blue screen or the system reboots (it depends on what the system settings are).

    To troubleshoot this kind of kernel crash issue, we need to debug the crashed system dump. Unfortunately, debugging is beyond what we can do in the forum. A suggestion would be to contact Microsoft Customer Service and Support (CSS) via telephone so that a dedicated Support Professional can assist with your request. Please be advised that contacting phone support will be a charged call.

    Hi,

    I have the exact same issue as the Original Poster. I have uploaded a Minidump that can be viewed on the following URL. Would you be able to take a look at the Mini050311-02 dump file for me.

    http://cid-a0da3e097fdfb096.office.live.com/browse.aspx/Minidump

    Thanks

    Hi thanks for replying,

    Do you have any advice how to resolve this issue?. I have scanned and removed all malware / virusses and am pretty confident the desktop is clean. I get errors though when I try to download windows updates and therefore cannot install these. I am unsure how to check my hard disk for errors. The back up of my operating system was pre-installed on my machine but it fails to load if I try accessing it using F8

    Proceed like that:

    • Run chkdsk /r /f
    • Run sfc /scannow
    • Update all possible drivers, disable your security softwares and check again

    From the dump file, I see that you have many drivers that dates from 2008.
