Hi, chaloux.
Whatever "forum" you posted your question on has relayed it to the Microsoft public news server, where I am reading it. It's frustrating for me to Reply to such posts because I'm never sure that the "forum" is relaying The Rest Of The Story, and I never know if you are receiving help from others. If you want to "cut out the middleman" and post directly to the "mothership", just click here:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windows.vista.general
In the meantime, though, when BSODs are RANDOM, it almost always points to problems with your HARDWARE, not Windows or any other software. That means the problem could be as simple as heat buildup, or power fluctuations, or loose cables or... Or it could be bad - or incompatible - memory. Or outdated drivers. Or lots of other factors that are hard to diagnose in a newsgroup. :>(
at first (I am an overclocker) but had been fine for ~8 months.
Or THAT could very well be the problem in your case! Have you tried underclocking to see if that helps?

Hi guys, I am new here and have been reading thread after thread trying
to figure this out.
Few days ago I started getting random BSOD's, then my PC wouldn't even
start. I wasn't paying attention to them at this time. I reformatted
(had been over a year anyway) and did a fresh install of Vista, and
problems are still there, even after running all of the updates.
I start paying attention at this point, and see that I am getting IRQL
not less or equal, as well as page fault in non paged area - win32k.sys
I have tried reading the dumps, but I have no idea what I'm looking
at/for. If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
From the research I've been doing, I understand it's probably a memory
or motherboard dimm slot issue. I have 4x1gb, which was a bit finnicky
at first (I am an overclocker) but had been fine for ~8 months. There
was no significant hardware or software change that could have caused
the problem. I've tried 1 stick, and it seemed okay for a while, but
then BSOD'd. I ran 2gb in dual channel slots 1 and 3, and got a BSOD.
I am now in slots 2 and 4, and so far I haven't seen anything.
Here are my dump files. If there is any other info I can give, please
let me know. I have just started with the whole BSOD dump file thing,
so please be easy on me :)
