Random BSOD

[xpronic]

I keep getting random bsods when I'm doing different tasks on my pc. I can be listening to music, browsing the web, doing some office work, or doing some light gaming (bejeweled) and I get the bsod.

I'm running Windows 7 32 bit upgrade from Windows Vista 32 bit on a HP DV7 - 2050ea laptop.

Minidump files are attached to the post.

Hi xpronic and Welcome to The Forum.

Sadly, your random bsods are far from random. Every one I looked at returned a 0x124 error.

You're getting a stop0x124, which means blame the hardware.

• Ensure that none of the hardware is being over-clocked.
• Ensure that the machine is adequately cooled. Chase out those dust bunnies!
• Make sure all hardware related drivers are up to date.
• Possibly update the motherboard BIOS according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Always keep The Windows system itself up to date.

See this thread for additional pointers: Stop 0x124 - what to try.

Some hardware tests you should be prepared to run:

Run Chkdsk
Run the correct Hard Drive Diagnostics Tool for your HDD.
Memtest86+ iso download.
Guide to using Memtest86+
CPU - Stress Test with Prime95. Run the "Blend" and "Small FFTs" tests.
Video Card - Stress Test with Furmark.​

Also:
AVG is known to be a cause of BSOD's on Windows 7 systems. Suggest that you uninstall it. Download the correct AVG Remover for your system (32 or 64 bit).
If you have AVG ID protection installed, download the AVGID Protection Remover from the above link as well (it wouldn't hurt to download and run it anyway). Download BSOD friendly Microsoft Security Essentials as AVG's replacement.
Uninstall AVG through the Control Panel. Re-boot to Safe Mode and run the AVG Removal tool(s). Re-boot to normal mode and install MSE. Make sure your Windows firewall is enabled! After your blue screens have been resolved, feel free to re-try AVG.
