    Wow. This thread went down hill fast. From 3 pages to 8 pages most of which has no valuable information.

    Toasty:

    Please go back to page 2 of this thread and follow the instructions by Elder to configure your system to not automatically restart on system failure and to create a crash dump file when it does crash. These settings may already be correct, but we need to make sure. For some reason we're not getting dump files when Windows crashes.

    Next, boot the computer in Safe Mode with networking. Click HERE. Download, install and update Malwarebytes. Run a full scan. Remove anything detected. Once the scan has completed, anything detected removed, upload the Malwarebytes log file to SkyDrive posting the link to the file in your reply.

    There were 000000024 stop errors in bluescreenview from previous crashes. So, the hdd may have to be replaced. The 0000008e stop error may have been caused by Securom. By the looks of it this can cause that stop error

    The odd thing was, every time it crashed (recently) there was no mention of it in event viewer, it didn't appear in bluescreenview either

    If you followed the directions to configure your system to create a crash dump file, here are some reasons why you might not see a crash dump file:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/130536

    If you are not sure what you are seeing, do this:

    Click Start, Run and in the box enter:

    msinfo32

    Click OK, and when the System Summary info appears, click Edit, Select All (Ctrl-A), Copy (Ctrl-C) and then paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here in your next reply.

    There will be some personal information (like System Name and User Name), and whatever appears to be private information to you, just delete it from the pasted information.

    This will minimize back and forth Q&A and eliminate guesswork.
