Andro, i followed all the steps again, but i couldnt find any files that matched. i assume that means #1 was the real problem... correct?

if such is the case, could i ask exactly what i need to do?

And i'd like to thank you for all your help... its really nice of you to take so much time out of your day and help me. sorry for not saying it sooner in the thread. x.x

I was wondering how long it would take before the BSoD would happen again I knew the mouse and keyboard wasn't the case but I wanted you to figure that out but you will need to do a hard drive format and reinstall windows. This is your only option left now before declaring faulty ram.

After you reinstall windows don't rush and install everything that was previously on before if you backed your stuff up as if a program is responsible for this biding your time could very well pinpoint your problem.

Basically if your BSoDs stop when you do a fresh reinstall of windows clearly something on your hard drive was to blame for it and you will want to find out what the cause of it was before so it doesn't happen again.

So how would i pinpoint it? o.o

and i dont know if i, or anyone i know, has a backup of the windows OS... i'll have to check with my parents. :/
