Freeze and BSOD after light browsing

A couple weeks ago, my Dell Vostro 400 appeared to go into hibernate mode (although I was in the middle of using it). After it wouldn't wake and I restarted, I haven't really been able to do much without getting a BSOD.

I don't get BSOD as long as I don't do anything with it and if I leave it off for a day it can browse the internet very briefly. If I try again, it will freeze and BSOD when I click on the icon.

I upgraded this cpu from Vista and there were no apparent issues for years. I use the cpu a lot, but not for heavy use.

I apologize I was unable to find a way to get the memory dump files in a zip here. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there any hope?

I appreciate it.

Sorry for the delay in responding. There just aren't that many people who do BSOD analysis, so at times we get a bit overwhelmed!
Also, I've been sick and had a couple of computer issues of my own this past week.

Please provide this information so we can provide a complete analysis: http://www.eightforums.com/bsod-cra...e-screen-death-bsod-posting-instructions.html

If the memory dumps are too large to upload here - upload them to a free file-hosting service and post a link to them here.
