Hi,
So I've posted here before (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic318200.html) about my computer being slower than it used to be and flash videos bringing the CPU up to 100% and lagging after a little while of playing, and you guys were great about trying to help but it didn't end up fixing it really. I had noticed, however, that I had been having a blue screen of death once in a while (not frequent, but I got one on May 27th and just got another today) and so I decided to look into it. They were always very fleeting too, so that I couldn't read them, so I found the microsoft debugging tools and opened the minidump files. I also tried another tool (whocrashed home edition) which greatly simplified reading the files. Here's what it found:
On Thu 6/10/2010 6:31:17 PM your computer crashed
This was likely caused by the following module: pci.sys
Bugcheck code: 0x1000008E (0x80000004, 0x806D8945, 0xA7C17704, 0x0)

The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect, possibly the culprit is in another driver on your system which cannot be identified at this time.

So basically it looks like I had two completely unrelated processes crash out, only related in that they are both critical processes. However, this does not help me see the root of the problem -- usually it's obvious that it is a driver problem, but this doesn't point to any particular driver. So I was wondering if one of you out there could possibly help me with this problem. This makes me think that the cause of my original problem was system-related issue (i.e. a driver issue) and not an infection with malware or anything like that, but I am not sure.
Thank you for your help!
