BTW, my system is set to make a Complete Memory Dump upon a STOP error. Shouldn't it be at Small Memory Dump? (64k)

STOP errors that pin point win32k.sys are often triggered by graphics drivers.

At this point of troubleshooting I would suggest doing everything possible to crash and monitor the crashes.

Sorry I don't remember but have you run a diagnosis on your hard drive?

Small dumps are Default but I would leave it at Complete as we get more detail.

Actually you might try setting it to Kernel to see if we get less corruption.

It's on Complete Dump at the moment.

I came home to check my e-mail, I wasn't on Internet Explorer for any more than 3 minutes before a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA BSOD.

"...caused by win32k.sys"

So what's the point of carrying on anymore? Why should I buy a new video card if the exact same thing is going to happen? I mean drivers can't just "suddenly" turn corrupt and ruin my life, but then again, this is me. If it's drivers, it'll happen everywhere. Memory, video card, motherboard, sound card, what in the name of all that hate me can I do???

I'd rather like to throw all my life's work and money into the curb and get it over with. This computer is hopeless, you can go ahead and tell me.

************************************************** *****************************

KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (8e)
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: bf80f943, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: a805e3b0, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000

Just another thing, you mentioned about a possible expert in dumps. Is there a possibility he could take a peek at this thread? If one were to send him an e-mail about this thread, could he answer back?

Wow, I am so dead now.

I am willing to do this:

You provided me with that link to Joe Hobart's way to find the culprit for BSODs. I want to do this, but I also do not want to put my computer in any more harm's way before hearing from an expert, aka. Jephree

Joe Hobart is a member here but hasn't posted since last November. Haven't seen him post anywhere else either

You could try a PM just for the heck of it:

I will look at your new posts after I cover some easier topics tonight

Ok, I'll wait for you. I also sent him a PM, but it may look like he's no longer around tech forums

Hmm, I followed his instructions with Verifier but didn't get a single BSOD upon startup. His post stated I should've gotten a C1 STOP error that would determine the culprit.

I decided to test my computer's damage again. I ran Battlefront II for about 6 minutes, then quit it mid-game. Just before the desktop reappeared, I got a BSOD. No driver info or anything else. I pressed the restart button. Another BSOD appeared, just another PAGE_FAULT piece of...

Rebooted again, this time computer just decided to screw around. Monitor went to standby and nothing was working. Had to reboot AGAIN just to get to desktop.

That's why I got a BSOD after having the computer on for 2 minutes. Last night I played a short round of Battlefront II waiting for a BSOD. I quit the game and turned off the computer immediately. I guess it didn't have enough time for a BSOD, but the son of a gun keeps the notion "Wait a second, Mazda got away with that one, I'd better screw him over as soon as he turns on his computer". It certainly delivers on its promise. If I were to start a game right now, I would get at LEAST 2 BSODs. That's how it works.
