nvstor.sys and blue screen of death

July 4, 2007

Okay.

I installed an update this past thurs or friday, June 28/29.. This included

an update to nVidia.

I use my computer as a Media Center PC hooked up to my TV... Well I went out

of town and turned the computer off. I did not notice any problems. Sunday,

I noticed that the computer shut off on it's own while I was out of the room.

It did not shut down. Just completely shut off.

Well I restarted and everything was fine until tonight. While using Media

Center, the blue screen of death came up and said a ton of stuff that I

couldn't read except nvstor.sys... I restart the computer and everything

seems fine.. then 15 mins later... the same thing happens...

So... I restart in safe mode and go back to a restore point of Wed June 26.

Before the nVidia update. Everything restarts and looks fine then about 30

mins later.. another blue screen! I have NO idea what is going on or how to

fix this. I really don't want to have to reformat. Anyone have any

suggestions? My pc is a custom built one from Cyberpower PC... It has a

warrenty, but I would like to try and fix it myself befor resorting to

mailing and shipping it off.

Thanks for any and all help.
