Hello i am running a custom desktop from tigerdirect.com with: AMD phenom II X2 550 3.1Ghz processor, 12GB RAM DDR3, 64-bit windows 7, Hitachi HDP725050GLA360 ATA device hard drive,and a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 video card.

I have for a long time been getting crashes and blue screens and its only gotten worse to the point it crashes almost once an hour if I am gaming. I noticed the CPU usage would go to 100% even when i just had one instance of League of Legends open. I have reformatted the computer using a genuine windows 7 installation CD and the problems continue through.
I ran a crash dump analysis and got some of the following read outs:

1)On Mon 8/12/2013 10:47:31 PM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\081213-28563-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: hal.dll (hal+0x2BC60)
Bugcheck code: 0x19 (0x20, 0xFFFFFA800C62F840, 0xFFFFFA800C62F8F0, 0x40B0084)
Error: BAD_POOL_HEADER
file path: C:\Windows\system32\hal.dll
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: Hardware Abstraction Layer DLL
Bug check description: This indicates that a pool header is corrupt.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. This might be a case of memory corruption. More often memory corruption happens because of software errors in buggy drivers, not because of faulty RAM modules.
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.

2)On Sat 8/10/2013 12:19:40 AM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\080913-37487-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x6F880)
Bugcheck code: 0xA (0x437872DC, 0x2, 0x1, 0xFFFFF80002A5A12E)
Error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that Microsoft Windows or a kernel-mode driver accessed paged memory at DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

3)On Sat 8/10/2013 3:11:01 AM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\080913-28017-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x6F880)
Bugcheck code: 0x1E (0xFFFFFFFFC0000005, 0xFFFFF80002D78FDA, 0x1, 0x18)
Error: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that a kernel-mode program generated an exception which the error handler did not catch.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.


I have already run CHK DSK and I am not too advanced in this process but i believe that there were no alarming results. How do i access these results to paste here ?? I am in the process of running a hard drive analysis but do not yet have the results of it.

Advice to point me in a direction? Thank You

Please upload the Minidumps for the BSODs:

C:\Windows\Minidump

Place all the dump files into a zipped folder, and then upload in your next post.

You need a tool like WinDbg to open the dump files, which can be downloaded as part of the Windows SDK or WDK, but that is one part of the story, you will need to know which commands to enter to gather more information about the crash and also understand how the crash happened.
