I had a BSOD for the first time in several months. I used to get them every time Adobe would try to update (Adobe update always started immediately after reboot). Today I got one that said "Kernel Stack in Page Error". I have never seen that before. I was signed in to Pandora at the time so it is no surprise. My computer never works quite the same while I am connected to Pandora radio. Besides that, I think Threatfire was trying to notify me of an update just as HitMan Pro was scanning. I believe those two conflicted. The reason I say that is TFMon was the last thing to run almost at the exact time of the BSOD per [event viewer > system]. Yahoo mail is also kind of trippy too because I use Opera for Email.

Yes. I have one set from a couple of days ago and another from about a week ago, besides the ones that Windows automatically creates. I am not too worried about it though. If it happens again, I will utilize a restore point. Until then, I will assume it is just an anomaly of some sort. My guess is that it is a software conflict, not hardware.

I did recently switch to my rear audio port due to a short in the front audio jack. I was wiggling the headphone prong around in the female end in order to get proper stereo sound/volume of the port a couple of weeks ago, and it tripped the power supply, and the computer logged off on its own. So I figured I better not use it anymore. :)

I see. Well it might be then what you said. Thought that a restore point or a backup might of helped.

I left the computer as soon as I started HitMan and came back to the BSOD an hour later. "In-page" makes me think PANDORA. That could be "false logic" on my part though. hahaha

What I have heard several times before is that Pandora causes quite a few PC's out there to act sluggish or odd; whether it is directly a result of Pandora Radio, or it is an internal PC symptom caused by something Pandora Radio requires, on my end, that may not be functioning quite right.
