Hello everyone. First post on these forums so hope this is in the right place and that you can help me out.
Bought a new PC last year but last month I had a problem with it where I had a blue screen error and then it would not connect to the internet anymore, even though the modem and ISP were both fine (tested on my old PC). A techy friend of mine had a look at it but there was nothing he could do so I reformatted the hard drive and reinstalled everything. Since then it's been working okay most of the time but I do keep getting blue screen errors resulting in me having to restart the PC. This is annoying when I'm in the middle of something and I'm also worried that it is a symptom of something being seriously wrong. I've checked for viruses and spyware etc but can't seem to find anything.
Unfortunately I had the "auto restart after crash" option on so I didn't get a chance to even read the blue screens to find out what was wrong. From looking at other topics on this forum it seems like the minidump files might hold some answers but I'm totally clueless as to how to even open them, let alone see what they mean.
I'm attaching the files to this post and maybe someone could take a look and see what the problem is.
It's a Compaq PC, can't recall exact make and model I'm afraid. I'm running Vista 32 bit and have 2.5GB of RAM with an Nvidia GeForce 7300 graphics card.
