BSOD Daily

For a while now I have been getting the BSOD once per day while playing games. I assumed it was my graphics driver and updated it. This did not resolve my problem though. Also I should not that it only happens ONCE per day. It seems that after it gets it out of it's system it preforms just fine for the rest of the day. Strange?

OS: Vista Home Premium x64 (retail)

The hardware is ~2+ years old.
The OS has been installed for 1.5 years.

Thanks,

I ran it again making sure to run it as Administrator. As a side note I went and looked in the C:/Windows/minidump folder and it appeared to be empty. I hope this extract has what you need. If not then I will run it again immediately after I get a BSOD.

Thanks,

Sorry Charles,
Run it again and give me the dump report, then.
Just so you know, it usually takes several BSODs, before we can find a solution.

So I received the BSOD again today and again there wasn't a minidump file generated. I found instructions on the web to enable the minidump in Vista and have updated my settings. Not 100% sure this was the correct thing to do.

If all you did was enable the mini dump, it was the right thing and next BSOD, I can help. Just so you know it usually takes more than one BSOD to gather enough evidience to prevent them in the future.
