like the title I get a BSOD when running defrag. When i analyzed my disk it said that it was 4% fragmented so i ran the defrag and up popped my BSOD. I am switching to a ne HDD tomorow so i can see if that stops these BSODs from happening, but for now i am wondering what is causing the BSOD.

    "(other than no BSOD for a bit)"

    That's what I like to hear.

    A bsod is a bsod is a bsod. As long as it is the same system, can always be dealt with in one thread. :)

    Seems that your machine is stable so enjoy. :)

    Hey I installed the driver via the setup file and it seems to work but nothing seemed to change during or after the setup (other than no BSOD for a bit). 

    Also i know it seems like i was posting a duplicate thread but actually that was a whole different problem. I was running defrag as scheduled and it crashed. it had a different error screen but thats alright because i am switching to a new HDD anyway
