I've recent been getting a lot of BSODs, and I'm at a loss at what to do to fix it.

The BSODs are happening at random items, with no obvious corrolation between.

I've recent swapped my dump files to kernel mode as I've heard you might need that information. I can provide both kernal and memory dumps.

I've had the ram sticks in for RMA, but they checked out just fine.

There is one file that's consistant in every crash, when looking through BlueScreenView, and that's ntoskrnl.exe, and 50-60% of the time cfossspeed6.sys as well.

What do i need to provide, for you to be able to help?

ntoskrnl.exe it the windows kernel, it is the interface that all of the drivers use to talk to windows. All bugchecks will be in this code or the actual driver that made the programming mistake. (the hardware talks to the driver, and the driver talks to windows)

cfossspeed6.sys is a windows internet accelerator, a third party driver. I would just uninstall it or look for a updated driver from your motherboard vendor.

it is a likely cause of your failure.

also, often to fix Driver_POWER_STATE_FAILURE you will need to update the BIOS and update the motherboard drivers or turn off the sleep functions to the device that is failing. (network device I would think in this case) always best to update the BIOS and drivers rather than...

(network device I would think in this case) always best to update the BIOS and drivers rather than disable the functions. You can disable the functions by setting your machine's power management to high performance or isolating the device and just disable its power functions in control panel device manager settings.

Ya.. You said "ram checked". But still I would check with Memtest86. You make a cd or usb bootable, and then check your ram for errors. one stick at a time.
Also windows has built in memory check: Search: mdsched.exe, and schedule a memory check. Memtest86 is more reliable though. (remember to change settings to 1pass instead of 4, since one pass can take a really long time, and is more than sufficent)

Thanks for the replies. I updated the BIOS. It was a bit difficult but I got it. So far I haven't had one since, but as said they are about weekly. Thanks for the responses i hope it fixes it ^^

I tried to uninstall the cFoss software I got for my mobo (Turbo Lan V0.95), but it just bluescreens me the second i press uninstall. I got another bluescreen 1 hour ago which prompted me to try this.

After attempting 2 more times it finaly uninstalled without breaking. We're praying it'll be fixed now
