I have recently had problems with my Windows7 desktop bluescreening several times per day (with many different STOP codes) and occasionally blackscreening. Because it is still under manufacturer's warranty, I have been in contact with tech support. The most recent communication I've received instructed me to disable the halt state in the boot menu to avoid any further problems. Is this an acceptable solution? Or is this a way to cover faulty hardware? If either the memory or CPU (or any other hardware) is indeed faulty, will it (or could it) fail even if the halt state is diabled?

Your AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 250 has L1 Cache issue which causes the BSOD. Send the PC to them to replace the CPU:
