rundll crashing every 10 minutes or so

[Tim____]

My Windows 7 has decided that I don't get prompted enough about things I don't care about, and today has been throwing this box: (Win7Pro, fully updated, recently checkdisk+fix errors (on boot) + "sfc /scannow". No errors.

every 10 minutes or so. It comes up over the top of any full screen app, generally ripping it out of full screen to show me. If I leave it on the screen, the next one will appear over the top.

Here's what the windows event log shows for this error:

Here's what the windows event log shows for this error:

rundll32.exe is a wrapper program used to execute arbitrary routines inside of dll files. Although dll files and exe files have the same file structure, dll files do not have a main entry point and thus cannot be run on their own.

You'll need to look at task manager to find the specific dll and routine that's causing the crash. Enable the "command line" column in the "Details" tab of Task Manager

Well yes, RunDLL runs a bunch of things, including those things that task scheduler executes - which do NOT neccesarily show in the task manager, or because they crash, do not stay visible for long enough to recognise them.

So basically after watching the task manager and waiting for the next crash (boring, but I did it) i do NOT see anything appear before the crash screen.

Since posting, I've also disabled almost all of the tasks in the task scheduler, run a few different virus / malware scans, and rebooted about 15 times after trying various things. I've disabled pretty much all non-microsoft services and startup items (via msconfig), and rolled back the latest updates to the nvidia driver (uninstalled most of the utter garbage it installs, except the driver).

Frustrating that it was working fine and then one day (after absolutely no change) it just starts happening. I guess this is windows, so it's got stupid built right in.
