    These are the cause of the problems

    1. smtxhci.sys XHCI Host Controller Driver from ASMedia Technology Inc
    Reintall to the newest.

    2. Now surprise, surprise!
    You appear to be running both AVG & Symantec.
    Never a good idea!
    More is NOT best.
    Use only 1 at a time.

    > AVG can be a contributing cause of BSOD'S .
    Please remove and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials
    AT LEAST TO TEST

    Download tools and utilities | AVG Worldwide

    > Symantec is a frequent cause of BSOD's.
    I would remove and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST
