Mark i've uninstalled the tv turner card, and did a systematic inspection of
the mb looking for anything unusual and found nothing. Again the BSOD.
Here's the link, and again thanks for the help.

Okay, but...

1. The TV tuner card is a known issue with Vista. It works well for
some
and not at all for others.
2. The minidumps you are referring to are still no where to be found.

Mark since those post, i've reformatted and install vista 32, having been
told that the 64 bit version might be the trouble, so those minidumps
will
not work for my recent set-up.

PS. Did you try the suggestions from the posts you placed on TechArena?
(Which also did not include the minidumps and appears to be a copy of
the
cross post from the vista.general newsgroup.)

Ah,... I found them. Posted under the VistaHeads.com forum (2 weeks
ago)
where I answered you then with a rather lengthy diagnostic. Have you
tried
all of those suggestions?

Did you send the dump files to Rick Rodgers as he requested?

Or, maybe the eggheadcafe.com

or,
realgeek.com

, or
...
They all answered you as I did above. Remove the TV Tuner and try
again.

If you don't want to provide feedback on how our suggestions have
turned
out, I'm not sure how we can help you.
After 100 attempts, I would think you were at the point of performing a
very systematic approach to fixing the problem. But, it looks like your
seeking a silver bullet.

aren't the error codes included in the minidump files?

It would be easier if you would start with the BSOD code provided.

Next, I'd remove the TV Tuner Card and see if you still get the BSOD.

news This is my 100th attempt at installing Vista, first 64 bit and
finally
settled on the 32 bit version with SP1. I continue to get the
dreaded
BSOD.... What i've done.... fresh format, new install... updated
ALL
drivers with the most current versions. Ran chckdsk, memtest86, and
ran system file checker.... all have checked out okay. Could someone
take a look at my last two minidump files and point me in the right
direction? Any help appreciated, thanks
