Just to make sure, my 3 options are: Small Memory Dump (128KB) Kernel Memory Dump Complete Memory Dump Currently I have everything as a Kernel Memory Dump. However, you would like me to change to a Complete Memory Dump, correct? Todd

Absolutely. My system is quite alive and sometimes takes days to fail. It seems to fail quicker when I am accessing the hard drive more (like playing a game or sometimes downloading a file). I'll get in and change the dump type to full and wait for another failure. Todd

I keep getting random BSOD's. I'm running VISTA Home Premium 64. Here is the output from one of the minidumps: BugCheck 7A, {fffff6fc40013488, ffffffffc0000185, 329d2880, fffff88002691a80} When I looked that up on Microsoft's web page, I believe it says to check the cabling or termination on my 'SCSI' drive. I actually have a Wester Digital 3200KS SATA drive, however, I believe Windows reports it as a SCSI. I have tried updating every driver I can think of to no avail. I have downclocked the Dram to 667 and the processor by 200MHz (to 2.6GHz) and still see failures. I have taken the cover off of the case in case it was overheating. Nothing has worked. I'm hoping there is someone out there who can shed more light on this. I have several minidumps that I could attach, however, they are 265K in size and I do no know if that would be acceptable or not. What are the chances that a new cable will fix the problem or whether this is a malfunction of the hard drive itself? Also, I can provide any other system information if that would help diagnose this issue. Thanks! Todd
