blue screen of death of new machine

[johnb35]

Look under system properties. Right click on computer, click on properties. Look on the general tab and see what it shows for memory. If it shows 2gb of ram, then you are fine. If it shows less than that. then most likely the balance is being used for the onboard video and should be disabled in the bios.

i know i have full 2 gb ram available bcoz i use graphics card , my post was to clear OxfordPCRepairs's doubt.
by the way my system is currently running fine the only change i did since the last bsod is that i changed my power cable for psu.

so after two days of good working today i got this bsod during the shut down of the system.

Going right back to the start of the post you say this is a relatively new system , did you buy the rig from the shop that has been replacing all the new components you've replaced, or are you buying from another shop , you also state that the shop installed windows without problem , did you see them install , as they could just have put in a cloned drive , and not actually installed windows , which would then lead me to believe ,
1 the drive is cloned easily checked if you go into windows folder right click properties and look at date of install
2 The shop is selling bad components or used

The last BSOD refers to Hal.dll which is a system file if that is corrupt it could be a corrupt sector on the drive .

Also bear in mind if a component is new doesn't mean it is viable , To be honest if i install windows on a PC and it doesn't install after the third try its normally a defective hdd

4 issues that can cause BOSD, Memory, video card or CPU compatibility issues....
Dodgy Drivers is another one.....

As OxfordPCRepairs mentioned it can be corrupt files or sectors on Hard drive and my money is on the Hard Drive being the culprit.

ye i was present there when the guy installed windows and no problems occured so im confused here.
also right now my machine is running fine but twice i got bsod when the system was shutting down(after i turn off ) ,the first bsod is in previous post and the second one is :

Even in event viewer?? should list all BSOD in there likewise any other hiccup should be listed
