Good morning people,
I'm experiencing lately this problem: when turning on the computer from sleep, a BSOD will occur, not with the same error code.
I have performed a memory test with Microsoft diagnostics tool but no error was issued.
The computer is a Dell Vostro 1500, originally shipped with Vista 32 Ultimate, upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 32.
I have attached the minidumps.
I hope someone can help!

Little sysinfo, possible to attach more if needed.

Hey...

Wow, your machine is in absolute shambles there. I highly recommend a clean install of Windows 7 while formatting, unless you plan to follow each and every advice below:

Update your Ricoh card reader drivers from your motherboard's site at the manufacturer (Dell):

rimsptsk rimsptsk.sys Tue Nov 14 22:42:45 2006

---------

Update your wireless adapter driver from the manufacturer's site:

netw5v32 netw5v32.sys Thu Mar 26 12:10:37 2009

----------

Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers and delete these old, problematic drivers:
