gona check the hdd to see if there are any errors now.

The hard drive is also fine according to the chkdsk, atleast nothing show up

what else could be causing the BSOD problem?

Here is another thing i noticed, it always happened when i select a file that is downloading in Bt or other programs.

Any other ideas?

thanks

fdisk is an old DOS partitioning tool.

Do you know what stop error you are getting? They are usually caused by RAM or driver problems but there are other causes.
