We can analyze the minidumps if you make them available from the SkyDrive or other file
sharing sites.
Zip or upload the contents of C:\Windows\minidump
Use SkyDrive to upload collected files and post screen shot/picture.

Drivers could be at fault however disk issues or antivirus/antispyware/security products are
just as likely to be the root cause as they can force a driver to corrupt or go out of bounds.
The video driver or something affecting it would be very suspect.
Be sure the drivers, BIOS, and low level chipset drivers are all updated by manually checking
at the System maker and device makers's sites.
Below I will post a generic bluescreen troubleshooter and in the next message how to update
drivers and BIOS as well as do memory checks.
BCCode: 0A 0x0000000A
Cause
This bug check is issued if paged memory (or invalid memory) is accessed when the IRQL is too high.
The error that generates this bug check usually occurs after the installation of a faulty device driver, system service, or BIOS.
If you encounter bug check 0xA while upgrading to a later version of Windows, this error might be caused by a device driver, a system service, a virus scanner, or a backup tool that is incompatible with the new version.
Resolving the Problem
If a kernel debugger is available, obtain a stack trace.
To resolve an error caused by a faulty device driver, system service, or BIOS
- Restart your computer.
- Press F8 at the character-based menu that displays the operating system choices.
- Select the Last Known Good Configuration option from the Windows Advanced Options menu. This option is most effective when only one driver or service is added at a time.
To resolve an error caused by an incompatible device driver, system service, virus scanner, or backup tool
- Check the System Log in Event Viewer for error messages that might identify the device or driver that caused the error.
- Try disabling memory caching of the BIOS.
- Run the hardware diagnostics supplied by the system manufacturer, especially the memory scanner. For details on these procedures, see the owner's manual for your computer.
- Make sure the latest Service Pack is installed.
- If your system has small computer system interface (SCSI) adapters, contact the adapter manufacturer to obtain updated Windows drivers. Try disabling sync negotiation in the SCSI BIOS, checking the cabling and the SCSI IDs of each device, and confirming
proper termination.
- For integrated device electronics (IDE) devices, define the onboard IDE port as Primary only. Also, check each IDE device for the proper master/subordinate/stand-alone setting. Try removing all IDE devices except for hard disks.
If the message appears during an installation of Windows, make sure that the computer and all installed peripherals are listed in the Microsoft Windows Marketplace Tested Products List.
Comments
Before upgrading to a new version of Windows, remove all third-party device drivers and system services, and disable any virus scanners. Contact the software manufacturers to obtain updates of these third-party tools.

==================================================================
The main possible cause of those is memory probems though there can be other causes.
Are you over-clocking at all? If so please reset all back to their normal defaults until the
BSOD issue is controlled.
See the memory testing section in the next message.
Remove ALL power and reseat all cards, memory, and cables (both ends when possible) -
actually remove and replace - do not just snug. Make sure the vents are clear and that the
fans are working. Even though the temp is OK do not assume heat can't affect the video,
sound or other system functions it those get to hot. Try adding a small fan blowing into
the vents as a test. (Of course those are for a PC and not a laptop except the memory.)
Have you added any hardware lately? Have you updated any driver just before these started?
(Check Control Panel - Windows Updates to see if any drivers were updated there about the
time this started) Main likely culprits are Video driver, other major drivers, memory, and
antivirus/antispyware/security products could be at fault as well as drive issues.
Use the troubleshooter below and refer to the next message for drivers and memory when
you get to those sections and then return back to the troubleshooter as needed.

Look in the Event Viewer to see if anything is reported about those.
http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/vista/vista\_event\_viewer.htm
MyEventViewer - Free - a simple alternative to the standard event viewer of Windows.TIP - Options - Advanced Filter allows you to see a time frame instead of the whole file.

Here are some methods to possibly fix the blue screen issue. If you could give the Blue Screen
info that would help. Such as the BCC and the other 4 entries on the lower left. And any other
error information such as STOP codes and info such as IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and similar messages.
As examples :
BCCode: 116
BCP1: 87BC9510
BCP2: 8C013D80
BCP3: 00000000
BCP4: 00000002
or in this format :
Stop: 0x00000000 (oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxooooooooo oxoooooooo)
tcpip.sys - Address 0x00000000 base at 0x000000000 DateStamp 0x000000000
This is an excellent tool for posting Blue Screen Error Information
BlueScreenView scans all your minidump files created during 'blue screen of death' crashes, and displays the information about all crashes in one table - Freehttp://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue\_screen\_view.html
Many BlueScreens are caused by old or corrupted drivers, especially video drivers however
there are other causes.
You can do these in Safe Mode if needed or from Command Prompt from Vista DVD or
Recovery Options if your system has that installed by the maker.

Also run CheckDisk so we can rule out corruption as much as possible.

Method 1:
If you are using 6GB of RAM of multiple sticks, then remove it and trying using one at a time and check.
Method 2:
You may also try performing a clean boot and try to print.
A clean boot helps to verify if any third party application services or startup item is causing this issue.
You may refer the following KB article to put the computer in clean boot:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If your issue is resolved after performing Clean Boot, then follow the steps mentioned in the above KB article to narrow down the exact source.
Also, after resolving the issue, see the section on the clean boot link to how to return your computer to a Normal startup mode by following the steps under “Reset the computer to start as usual.
