I am running windows 7 64 bit Problem: Blue screen Ive ran about every basic test that windows has to offer but feel free to point me in the right direction. Computer specs: intel core i7 920 @ 2.67ghz nvidia geforce gts 240 8 gb ram Link to my zipped .dmp file http://cid-2c3cba7898996275.office.live.com/self.aspx/Dump%20files/112810-14679-01.zip

the link doesn't work. Change the sharing permissions so that everyone can see the dumps."A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

sorry kinda new, but it says permissions is set to everyone (public) try this http://cid-2c3cba7898996275.office.live.com/self.aspx/Dump%20files/112810-14679-01.zip

The minidump files show a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR (124) error. It is interesting that the process that crashed in both crashes was the McSvHost.exe which is a McAfee process. That may indicate a problem with McAfee so you could try uninstalling McAfee and see if the error resolves. You may also want to look at a BIOS update as the latest BIOS revision for the XPS Desktop 435T/9000 is A16 (you are presently at A15). A16 has an Intel microcode update which may help: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&releaseid=R271261&SystemID=STUDIOXPS435T&servicetag=&os=WV64&osl=en&deviceid=19995&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=6&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=0&libid=1&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=400343

Thanks for your help, yea McAfee started acting up after the blue screens-uninstalled and i think that fixed it still gonna update my bios tho :P
