Hi, I have a old HP tower here with random shutdown, (ofcourse not when I'm testing it) I found a few infections, nothing major and ran complete hardware scans overnight, everything clean. I booted to ERD and ran the crash analysis it points to hardware error, I'm a rookie at reading these things, I also ran bluescreenview and it listed this:

The ERD report after debugging is attached, I appreciate any input on this!

The Stop 0a means

Typically due to a bad driver, or faulty or incompatible hardware or software. Technically, this error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level (IRQL) that was too high. (A kernel-mode process can access only other processes that have an IRQL lower than, or equal to, its own.)

I had one earlier this week, with the same stop code. It was the hard drive, going which was causing the bsod here.

I know you said, you have ran complete hardware scans, have you thoroughly checked the hard drive?

Yes, I suspected the drive as well, ran complete tests with two prgms, guess I'll leave it run for a bit more, seems fine, I tweaked it from 77 to 30+ pocesses and disabled spybot cuz she already has AVG going, hate not being able to get it to crash.

Maybe they had something that was plugged into it that's not now?

Thats maybe what I'm thinking, the bluescreenview listed the usb driver as first in the chain, She has some random tablet program starting on boot, I'm going to ask her about that.
 
Have you tried a different (working) power supply?

Once had a similiar issue that was driving me crazy.

PSU "checked ok" with tester, but after replacement, it's now been fine for several years.
