I'm now at a lost as what to do because the STOP crash keeps happening. I hope if posted all the right info and if need will post more because this problem is driving me nuts.

[evilfantasy]

Hijackthis is not compatible with 64bit systems so I can't make a good determination on the log. But from what I can see this isn't a malware problem. It's a hardware problem so I will move this to the hardware forum.

[philthomas]

This error often occurs as a result of a bad or faulty driver.

Have you installed or upgraded any drivers prior to this happening ? ...... if so try rolling back or uninstalling it/them and see if you lose the problem.

[Akarhys]

i've updated my gfx card drivers, wireless mouse, keyboard and network adapter and will see if this sorts the problem. As it randomly happens i'll let you know what goes on.

[blacky]

I have the same problem, but it is happening when processor activity reachs maximum (ususlly screen should just freeze in a few moments) and when is my usb mouse pluged - genius ergo 525v. I have licensed Vista... When I uninstalled the mouse, blue screen stopped appearing. But, additional buttons stoped working as well...that don´t please to me.

[winifred42]

Hi
I have had this problem before and it turned out to be the RAM so try changing or cleaning the RAM and see if you still get this problem.

[matthewforu]

Even i was facing the same probelm few days back.

HI, I'm new around here, but I've got the exact same problem, and what's more suspicious, I also use the ergo 520 genius mouse...
