    If you gave more information as to any pattern that caused them or the specific details of the BSOD it would help those that wish to answer.

    Got the system end of Nov I have had about 16 random BSOD since I got it.
    I could be doing nothing or working the system hard, I have even had it blue screen on shutdown. I have done a complete reinstall through erecovery onlt to have it do it 2 days later while surfing on the net.I will include the latest blue screen. There have been about 7 different listed causes,most them blaming windows files. I have run memtest , all ok. I am now suspecting hardware,ant thoughts

    Yes I see a kernal power , critical error,yo safe error,file system structure is corrupt, fatal alert was generated: 10 was seen several times and The Program Compatibility Assistant service failed to perform the phase two initialization and a few other minor ones relating to various programs. This is all in the past 4 days since the reinstall. To me it is starting to sound like hardware

    Well Im not familiar with erecovory, but it may not replace the system files with new ones. You may want to try a fresh install on another partition or harddrive

    The option I chose wipes the main partition and reloads from the hidden partition so I am pretty sure it replaces all the files, all my data files and programs were removed.

    I was thinking it could possibly be a corrupt kernel to begin with from the recovery partition and maybe you should download an ISO of your OS and do true fresh install. I personally never bother with the erecovery, but you might want to give a new ISO a whirl. If you need help finding one, PM me.

    I would thoroughly test the hard drive after recovery or clean install to make sure that [one of] the cause of the BSODs. Try downloading disk tools from maker of the disk. Good luck, and let us know what happens.

    Hi, I suspect hardware, however, as it is a new laptop, no testing is needed, get it repaired under warrenty, it should not do this..

    i have been getting the same error on my 8930g for the past few months too.
    the same ntoskrnl.exe file
    i too have reinstalled windows, vista and win 7 and its still happening.
    im taking my laptop back and it has to be hardware related
