BSOD Help

Recently I keep getting the BSOD and I'm not sure why.

So far I have done...

Clean install of Windows
Windows Memory Test (no faults found)
Disc Check (no faults found)
Cleaned out inside of desktop

And I'm still getting the BSOD

I'm running Vista Ultimate 32 bit (Retail)

My PC ( E-Systems 206) is about 5 years old and the only new part thats been added to it since I got it was a new graphics card (GeForce 9500gt) which as been installed for a couple of years.

I've attached the stuff that was requested from the tutorial thread.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi,

Your dump files point to the USB ports?

Have you installed or connected something new recently?


I will continue to look into this but check that out first. OK?

Hi..thanks for your reply.

I've not changed anything recently in any of the USB ports.

I have my mouse and external HDD plugged in and its been like that for long before the BSOD started.

Hi,

Please use Windows update to update your computer to SP2 plus others.

This is another indication that your system drivers are not fully updated & might be the cause of your issue.

Well, I'm not sure yet.

We need to cover off the basics first & see if that cures the problem.

If you have not changed anything or connected anything new. We need to start somewhere. OK?

Welcome
Although, the reports never give a clear answer, only clues. I would lean toward hardware. I base my answer on the following. One of the reports clearly indicated that it was hardware and you have reinstalled your OS and the problem still occurs. One usual cause of hardware problems is memory, lets give that a test, its easy. Then we can move on.

If it is not hardware, I would certainly think its a driver.
Regardless of the cause, Lottie is correct, you should always be up to date with the SPs

Run upadtes and installed SP2, I also ran the memory test and it passed....and its still the same.

I noticed two days ago that the CPU was running really hot because the fan was blocked with dust, I cleared the dust but could it have damaged the CPU?

I really want to poinpoint the source because I can't afford to buy the wrong part as I'm not working at the moment.
