I will work in safe mode for a while and see if I get a BSOD, but I am unsure when this may happen, if ever. Should I update you in a few days if nothing happens so we can try something else?

Shouldn't need that long to know. One day should be long enough.

I've used safe mode all day and no BSOD. In fact, I haven't had a BSOD since Spyware Doctor with Antivirus sent out an update a couple days ago. I have been searching the web for BSOD problems similar to mine and it seems like version 8 of Spyware Doctor was causing PCs to BSOD during install (I experienced this) and then periodically after that. It seems like the update of Spyware Doctor fixed this issue.

Do you think this is the case or should we check my drivers still?

[rshaffer61]

If that is the case then you should be able to reboot into normal mode with no BSOD problems. Now would be a great time to test the theory.
I will watch for your results later today.

Unfortunately I have received a few BSODs over the last two days. Here are the dump files.

This is what they are saying:

0x000000D1: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
(Click to consult the online Win XP Resource Kit article.)
The system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. The most typical cause is a bad device driver (one that uses improper addresses). It can also be caused by caused by faulty or mismatched RAM, or a damaged pagefile.

So lets see what the next steps show.

Lets see what you have in your startup

Please click on
Start and then to Run
Type in msconfig and press Enter
Now click on Startups
Then uncheck everything and restart.
IMPORTANT! In case of laptop, make sure, you do NOT disable any keyboard, or touchpad entries.
If system boots correctly and is running smoothly and faster then we have a startup problem
Try going back into msconfig and check one item and reboot
Keep doing that till you have found the problem or all are finally checked.
Post back with the results

Hello again!

After looking into my computer issues and general disorganization, I decided to do a fresh install of Windows 7. It took some time but I was able to free space taken up by the previously installed Vista OS so overall it was a good thing to do.

Since doing the fresh install, I have had no problems with the BSOD and my computer is running faster than ever!

Thanks again for all of your help,

Rafael

That is great to hear and I hope you didn't lose to much data during all this.
Thank you for updating the topic and that everything is now working as you like.
Personally I want to thank you for allowing me to assist you and for your patience during the many steps we took.
