When it BSOD's, look for other info.

2 things you want to find - the first is the file or device problem that caused the bsod (something like: IRQ_LESS_OR_EQUAL) - this will tell you if its HW or SW. If it points to a file, you know its sftw.

Second thing is to look in the top left - there is an error code there. Grab it - and google it. Might tel you a lot.

The other thing you can do is view the dump file (*.dmp) and see what it tells you. It will point out the resources (hw and sw) in use at the time of the bsod.

Edit - if you want - shoot me a pm and I can provide an email address for you to send the dump file to if you want me to look at it for ya.
