When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

Custom Build: (Yes, I wore ESD straps and took my time.)
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-880GMA-UD2H R
Ram: 16GB (4x4) (GSKILL RipJaw DDR3 1333)
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 840 3.2GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM3 95W
HD: Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKX 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
CPU Fan: ZALMAN CNPS9900MAX-B 135mm Heatsink / Fan
PSU: Diablotek PHD Series PHD380M 380W Micro ATX Power Supply


This PC worked just fine for about 3 months before it randomly starts blue screening out about twice a day. There is no pattern that I can see as to what I am doing when it crashes.


I have attatched a copy of the BlueScreenView memory dumps. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Attached File(s)

Is there anymore information I can provide to help with the support?

I have noticed that out of 50 views, there were only 2 views of my dump file output. Have I posted this incorrectly?

Please correct me if I am asking in the wrong form :)

Are all of your drivers up to date? It would be a good idea to check, multiple drivers are causing your crashes.

atikmdag.sys ATI Graphics cad

ataport.SYS Chipset drivers? May need to rewrite your boot sector

dxgmms1.sys Direct X related

BHDrvx64.sys You need to run mem test you could have bad RAM.

SYMEFA64.SYS Do you have Norton installed?

nwifi.sys Need to check the integrity, sfc /scannow will do that.

USBPORT.SYS Possibly Bad RAM causing this..

hal.dll Drivers, drivers, drivers.. If not then sfc/scannow could also help this

I skipped a couple, but the main thing now is UPDATE DRIVERS + run Memtest and see if it gives you ANY failures.

I think you may be infected, based on what I read.

I'll move this over to Am I Infected Forum where the more knowledgeable can take a look.
