    I hope I'm posting in the right spot for this sort of thing, this is the first time Ive ever actually posted on a tech support forum for a computer problem, I usually just browse everyone elses posts for help, but I'm just strait up stumped and don't know how else to fix this problem.

    I just built a brand new system that was running beautifully for the first few weeks, but about 3 weeks after I got it up and running the system started to blue screen, and did so more and more frequently as time went on. It eventually go so bad that windows wasn't starting so I just made a fresh install thinking that might fix the problem. Only now it's still doing it. Usually, my computer will load windows and then blue screen a few seconds after I get to the desktop. It will do this 7 or 8 times before it decides to be stable. And then less frequently after a few hours the computer will just randomly blue screen and restart.

    It doesn't seem to do it when playing WoW or other games. Usually just when I'm browsing the internet or something else that doesn't require full screen.

    I've uploaded some minidumps in a zip file with this post to see if anyone could possibly analyze them, because I really don't know what it is I'm supposed to look for in them.

    Thank you in advance to anyone who can help :D

    Hi Geedub, I've just had a quick look at one of your dumps and there's one old driver that stands out as needing updating, it's your Realtek network adapter driver.

    Download and install the latest one from here.

    Test it out for a few days or until it BSODs again, if you get another BSOD, upload the last dump.

    Thanks satrow, i just updated that driver, I'll see if that helps any and check back in in a couple days to tell ya if its still working or not. And I tried Bluescreenview plodr, but it doesn't really pick up anything, it keeps saying that ntsokrnl is the problem, but from what I read here, that just means that its picking that file up because its the last one in the stack or something and it doesn't really know what the problem is.

    Well thanks for helping guys, it had been working good for a while, almost a week now. I had also changed my 2 memory sticks from duel channel back to just normal. It had lessened after I did that. But anyways, after updating the driver I hadn't gotten a blue screen in a bout a week now, but I just tried loading up WoW, and got a new one. I'm going to upload the minidump for the new bluescreen if anywould would have the time to look at it. Thank you very much in advance you friendly helpful people :D

    Can you uninstall sptd.sys, it's a part of Daemon Tools and a known cause of BSOD's.

    There's also a very suspiciously named driver loaded - a8jhrn8o.SYS, which doesn't (yet) come up in a Google search. This makes it very likely to be malware, please upload a copy of it to virustotal.com for analysis then post the link back here to the results page.

    Sorry it took me a few days to get back, I'm having trouble finding a8jhrn8o.SYS, couldn't find it in the drivers folder or from just doing a general search. And I wanted to know, if I uninstall the sptd.sys file, will I be unable to run Daemon tools anymore? I'll do what I have to I just wanted to know before I took it out. Thank you for getting back so quickly by the way satrow.

    P.S.
    Their was one more crash today and i have a dmp file for it attached, I don't want to make people have to keep reading them though if the other files are the problem =3

    In the latest BSOD, the suspect file is called ahk3h88e.SYS, again, a no-show in Google. In my experience, this must be malware; go to the Malware section of the forum and read the Read and Run me post, find the section for your version of Windows and follow it very carefully, noting any error messages. Once you have all the required logs, make a new thread in the Malware forum and explain your problem.

    Once you're cleaned up, we'll continue back here if there are further BSOD's.
