My PC was bespoke built 11 months ago by a local shop which unfortunately went bust a month later after 15 years of trading. It is the fourth they had built for me and the other three have all been superb.
I have suffered a BSOD at power up several times each week since it was a fortnight old. It was built into an existing case and save for the front USB port, the Lite-on DVD and the case fans, the rest was new. Though the keyboard & mouse have only just been updated a month ago.
The First BSOD came after connecting a rear USB port from the old case so I removed it but I think it was a red herring.
In the new build I installed all my software and only some Bluetooth drivers showed up as unsigned. These I later uninstalled in case they were the culprits. No change.
The BSOD’s continued, culminating in Win7 declaring itself non-genuine which even Microsoft could not sort out and required a clean install last May. It has done it again once since May but that was overcome by re-entering the key.
Following rebuild I put the software back in stages (all regular stuff; Office 2007, Photoshop Elements, Powerdirector, Itunes. No games or suchlike. The BSOD’s continue to this day.
Very occasionally, perhaps twice since May, a BSOD has occurred while running an application but otherwise once up and running it behaves perfectly.
I sense that since there have been a number of auto disk scans, that the striping RAID array on one of the 2 Disks is at fault. I know that Nvidia chipset and Raid drivers are up to date and the Bios is fully up to date as of today.
The minidump files and driver & system data are attached. All help gratefully received
