    The i8042prt error was the last one before the BSOD today. There aren't any other errors for today except for my "unexpected shutdown"

    That sounds like it was an error at startup though?

    If you want some piece of mind on the hard drive you can test it with http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/sup...loads/seatools it doesn't matter if it's a seagate hard drive or not, run the quick tests and if it passes those then run a long test. The long will take a couple hours though, I'd try not to use the computer while it is testing.

    that's the post I used to add to your rep points!

    Thanks for your help man. I'll keep an eye out for any changes/updates that may help troubleshoot it. If it starts happening more often (which it seems to be) I may just do wipe of the hard drive to start fresh; though I haven't really noticed much improvement from doing that in the past on other computers...

    And i'll test out the hard drive via that link when the kids go to bed so my son doesn't go mess with the keyboard while its doing its thing.

    That sounds like a virus to me bro. All your stuff is backed so reset the computer to factory bro. Almost all the newer computers like 2007 and newer have all the software baried in the partition. Just need to figure out the hot key for your brand and wipe and restore it back to the day you first turned it on. Lots of updating after you so that but solves all software and virus issues obviously doesnt fix hardware issues.
