    I've recently reinstalled windows, a fresh install on my machine, asi was having problems with getting BSOD but it hasn't fixed the issue.

    So i've gotten 2 BSOD in a day now, but caused by the driver "ntoskrnl.exe", does anyone know why this might be happining?

    What did you think would happen when you installed windows on a machine! Windows are for cars and houses silly! :pac:

    Sounds like a hardware issue, anything from faulty ram modules, hdd or m board. You can download various PC diagnosis tools.

    can you recommend a tool to use?

    for memory.. http://www.memtest86.com/download.html, http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

    apart from that, you really need to look into the errors you're receiving for something more specific.

    If it was me, I would copy ntoskrnl.exe from your windows cd into the system32 folder. The file might be corrupt.

    Let us know if that fixes it

    well i've been on my computer for the last 5 hours and its running ok, no sign of a BSOD but i'll take up your advice.

    would a format of my harddrive and fresh install of windows fix the corruption thing?

    computer won't let me copy the ntoskrnl.exe into system32, or it won't allow me delete it or even restore it to a previous version:confused:

    I'd suspect the HDD. Scan the drive, I reckon it will show up a load of errors.

    What scan would reveal that?

    I'd use a Linux utility, but for windows, not sure really.

    Try this, Goto My computer & right click your C drive & select properties, goto tools & check it there, I've no idea how reliable it is though.

    If that doesn't help find out what your HDD is, hint, device manager & see is there a specific HDD tester for that.
