BSOD SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (3b)
I've been experiencing regular BSODs now for about 3 months and it is getting worse. Sequence is getting pretty routine. Upon 'cold' boot, system boots fine and I log into Windows and start working. Within about 5-10 minutes, screen freezes with blurred color bars. Upon power off/on, system emits 3 beeps and freezes with black screen. Upon next power off/on, I usually get the prompt to boot in safe mode/etc. Usually after anywhere from 5-8 reboots, the system remains stable unless I leave it in hiberation for extended period of time, in which case it can freeze again.
Sometimes, like today, I get BSOD msgs, which I have attached. I've done all sorts of virus scans to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
System info:
Dell Studio XPS 435T
Original OS: Vista 64-bit
Current OS: 7 Home Premium 64-bit, upgraded from Vista late last year
