You might zip up the last few mini-dump files you have an attach that zip file using the paperclip.

Is there anything in Event Viewer as far as errors that might indicate where the problem lies?

I would think a BSOD on shutdown was due to a driver or some software that won't shut itself down nicely.

You might use TaskManger and close specific processes prior to shutdown and see if you can find one that allows for a normal shutdown.

When you say shutdown, you do not mean sleep, right?

Hello f0xy0k,

Would it be too much to start from scratch? Other option remove all Unnecessary hardware to see if you can "isolate" the problem.

Hope this helps.

Application administrative = 27,727 -
Security = administrative = 15,548 - mainly Audit success log on and special log on events
Setup operational - 133
System Administrative 59,195

yes i agree - but my issue starts has soon as i reinstall windows7 and drivers manually (disconected from net for initial install, as instructed by DELL Link Removed - Invalid URL) it powers down perfect every time, then as soon as i connect to net and windows updates, then rebbot BSOD starts.

will try!...

no a complete shut down, if i hibernaite or send to sleep then theres usually no problem. it's when complete shut down is performed.

Once again, I am not the dump file reader here, but I will post what I seem to have and see what you think.

BugCheck 76, {0, 87c2f5d0, 4, 0}

Probably caused by : ntkrpamp.exe ( nt!PoIdle+538 )

Also this pops up after it is analyzed.

Otherwise, set HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\TrackLockedPages to a DWORD 1 value and reboot. Then the system will save stack traces so the guilty driver can be easily identified.

When you enable this flag, if the driver commits the error again you will
see a different bugcheck - DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS (0xCB) -
which can identify the offending driver(s).

I have no experience, so I cannot give any guidance about the suggested procedure--up to you...I also cannot find the ntkrpamp.exe file on my Win 7 system.

Check this Microsoft site for some more explanation.
