    Random windows crashes :(

    Here's the deal - my comp used to crash randomly a while back, so i decided to reformat and thought my problems were gone... WRONG! I get a crash again today, witht he same error. Naturally i am thinking its a bad hardware device, but after inquiring a bit i find out its a bad driver that not communicating right. Now after checking my applocation event viewer, i notice that Diskeeper Pro is having an error getting registry information out of the windows database for fragmentation purposes, and right after that i get the crash. Could diskeeper be the bad sheep?

    Spex of comp are in the sig.

    BTW - its windows XP Pro

    An easy way to find that out would be to stop the diskeeper service from running for a while and see if your crashes stop.

    I added a registry value that should show me what driver or process has caused the lock up. Next BSOD it should show it... man i never felt so eager for my comp to crash lol
