Here's the gist of your minidump:
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (1a)
# Any other values for parameter 1 must be individually examined.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00004000, The subtype of the bugcheck.
Arg2: 88d26da8
Arg3: 00020000
Arg4: 0026f829
The important number here is Arg1 and it is not classifed with MSDN. (It's
listed as "other.")
This particular error is notorious for not writing much information due to
the nature of the error.
While the above tends to point a little stronger to a hardware issue, I
wouldn't throw out the driver concept completely.
(Based on your prior issues with x64 installed.)
Things to do:
When you moved to x86 from x64, did you disable Memory Hole Remapping in the
BIOS?
If there was any third party software installed with the TV Tuner, try
uninstalling it while the card is removed.
Check the Event Viewer to see if a repeating error exists that may point to
specific software.
(You will restore all these later.)
Disconnect the Blue-Ray DVD player. Remove any third party software
installed for this DVD player.
If you are not setup as a RAID configuration, disconnect the hard drive
without Vista.
If you are set up as a RAID configuration, can you disable it for further
testing?
In Device Manager, disable the Realtek Audio device, or in the BIOS disable
it.
Temporarily disable your Anti-Virus.
If you still get a BSOD, what is the Stop Code and what exactly are you
doing when you get it. Does it occur predictably after turning your computer
on?
With the side of your computer off, are all fans running when you start the
computer?

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?
http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/mic...-question.html
Did you send the dump files to Rick Rodgers as he requested?
http://forums.techarena.in/vista-help/1112423.htm
Or, maybe the eggheadcafe.com
http://www.eggheadcafe.com/software/...vista-x64.aspx
or,
realgeek.com
http://www.realgeek.com/forums/bsod-...64-473887.html
, 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.

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
