Look in Control Panel - Uninstall Programs - uninstall anything related to Deamon Tools. I don't see any in the list I have, but it is starting at boot-up.

EDIT:
Go into MSCONFIG and andcheck any boxes in start-up for daemon tools

So far, well into over 1/2 of the >100 memory dumps, I see no evidence of hardware failure in the dump files. I do see quite a few system-resource-hungry installed like Apple, Office 2007, Adobe CS-3, Nero 8, etc... which is fine - your system w/ Core 2 proc /4GB RAM should handle this without much issue.

What I am finding in the memory dumps are various 3rd party drivers failing - some of which belong to at least two different anti-virus packages that are not found in your installed program list. It is my belief that they are literally at war with each other. If this is the case, SAFEMODE should then give your system the breathing room it needs to stay afloat without crashing continuously, which will in turn allow you the chance to go in and get rid of them.

There are other potential conflicts, but let's do the following first:
• Boot into SAFEMODE w/Networking - and please stay here
• Download and install CCleaner. After installation, right-click on the desktop shortcut; right-click; select "Run as Administrator"; select Tools (scene-left side) and a list of installed programs should appear. Then start installing any of the following that you see:
• Safer Networking Limited - SpyBot-S&D
• GriSoft/ AVG
• Symantec/ Norton
• Kaspersky
• Download MS SysInternals Autoruns v9.13 to your desktop. Double-click desktop icon to unzip, then left-click 2x on the autoruns.exe icon. This may be needed in the next step.

Please let me know what exactly you find/uninstall and of the outcome. Does the system run much faster under SAFEMODE?

Any ?? - let me know.

Regards. . .
