Hi and thanks for reading this
A couple of weeks ago I decided to do a general disk clean up and check validity of drivers etc. This resulted in a new Nvidia Graphics Driver being installed and an upgrade to the BIOS using the ASUS utility EZ2. All seemed well, however I soon discovered that I was being too optimistic and started receiving BSOD stop event crashes which indicate a un-correctable hardware error. I can get Windows to restart and run o.k until it inevitably reoccurs.
I have reset WIndows 7 to an earlier set point but am still getting these random crashes. In doing this, I am assuming it would not have reset the BIOS to an earlier version as that was done by flashing the chip. I have read that any reset of the BIOS must match settings from the earlier BIOS settings or else big problems can arise. To my knowledge the original BIOS was set as default but I might be mistaken, in which case this may be the source of the problem?
I am not tech savvy enough to de bug the Mini Dump and was hoping that someone could help?
